Post what you have to give away in this thread.

For our purposes, a Random Act of Kindness (to be referred to as a RAOK) is defined as something nice one PBS member does for another PBS member with NO CREDITS changing hands!  The  idea  is for people to post items they are willing to send another member FREE of charge or credits (including shipping). This is a great way to make someone's day at the same time that you can declutter your house of things you no longer need/use but weren't  sure you wanted to discard.  NOTE:  Some of us don't remember every member's nickname, so it is helpful to write that by your address label, when you send a RAOK, to make it easier for receiving members to thank you.

The  way to do this,  is to list items to this thread that you are willing to send as RAOKs the way we list damaged books/ARCs/etc. in the Book Bazaar, and make them first come, first serve. When an item has been spoken for, please cross it off or delete it from your post. You might want to show who got it but that's up to you. Just  make sure you update as frequently as possible so that no one is disappointed. Please everyone just use one post each and keep it updated.     NOTE:  Before posting a ROAK, you might want to check this month's *** I Wish thread to see if you are able to fill a members' Wish, first.  This is especially true for Coke codes, boxtops for education, etc.

If you see something you'd like,  PM the member with your address.  To post things you are wishing for, see the *** Monthly I WIsh thread.***  And to keep these threads clean and easy to read, please use the ***Monthly Thank you thread*** to thank people for things you have received.  Always let the members know, either in a PM or Thank You that you rec'd the item so they know it's not lost.

Obviously since RAOKs are free but cost the sender shipping, if you request a RAOK from someone and they aren't able to ship it for a while, please be patient!  Please mark out items as they are taken so other members are not disappointed.

Sometimes, it's the little things that make a person smile!

Any questions, please feel free to PM me.

p.s.  It is perfectly ok to ask a member if they rec'd an item.  People get busy and mail gets lost.

I have 3 matching cat pillows (I call them papa cat, mama cat, and baby cat). Mama cat needs some TLC from someone who knows how to sew. These were made from a pattern that used to be available in craft stores. They look quilted but they are all made from one piece of fabric. If anyone likes cats and likes to sew, you are welcome to these! Papa and mama cat are a little over a foot tall, baby cat is about 8 inches tall.

I have a $25 Giving Card for donorschoose.org   I donate here from time to time - it's an organization where teachers submit proposals for different projects and donorschoose.org checks them out, makes a list of the items and prices, and collects donations then purchases the supplies when the project is fully funded. You can search by school district or keywords such as 'classroom library, autism' or subject areas. This is probably the 3rd card they've sent me and the accompanying letter asks that I share it with a friend, colleague, or family member who isn't already signed up with donorschoose.org...

so...anyone who isn't already a member there and would like the code for the $25 giving card(another sponsor supplies the cards) to use towards a classroom project pm me and I'll pm you the code.  If you complete a project or donate $100 you will receive handwritten/drawn thank yous from the students. the only emails I receive from this site are the ones I requested when I signed up..they haven't harrassed me (at least not in the 1 12 years I've been with them!)

ETA: I  have 2  1 of these now for 2 who'd like to sign up!  Or if you're already a member and know of someone who would put them to use. I'd like to see these used the way the sponsor intended - to introduce people to the site and how great it is!

I have many 4 x 9 different colorful posterboard phrases, some of which have sticky attachments on the back and some don't (use double sided tape for those).  Four to a person please.  PM with title phrase and the ones you would like.  I suggest that you include a couple of alternates in case some are gone.  THANKS to Autumn, Nancy and LP for ordering.  They have been mailed and I'm so glad that someone can use these.  Also hope Velma can use the card fronts coming her way.

GONE!!!!  Garfield:   TAKE OUT IS MY LIFE, I'm the best at doing whatever it is I do; Approach, Bow and Scrape, State Your Business

Miscellaneous:  Deadlines amuse me!,  You can't be too Rich or Too Thin, I'm Friendlier on Paydays, PURSUING HAPPINESS....but running late?,  I don't need longer days...just shorter lists., I'm working my way to the bottom. (with 2 overflowing in boxes and 2 almost empty out boxes), WELCOME TO LIFE IN THE FAX LANE, ASSUME NOTHING, 

PS:  If I promised you an RAOK and you didn't get it let me know as I've been under the weather for several days.  However, I am trying to catch up.
