When we can get some cashy money, will buy more CE to donate too.
Hey, that's shiny, no matter how you slice it! Firefly sets might need to come from Amazon; I'm waiting on my order to make my donations, since the Brick and Mortar stores have been out, 'cept Target, who just raised the price 25%.
Thanks for spreading the Signal on this, Stoweaway!
Remember, if you get some pics, please, post 'em here!

FfF After-Event Report:
Patrick (another Greenville Browncoat), Rhiotre, and I met up at the Publix on Wade Hampton Boulevard, today. The three of us picked up some goodies to add to the vids for the Firefighters: Strawberry Fruity Oaty Bars (well, the contemporary equivalent), popcorn, Li'l Debbie Fancy Cakes (like Kaylee's dress), and, Miniature Snickers bars.
We then proceeded to the Wade Hampton FD... They were out on a call.
So, we went down to the Wade Hampton Water and Fire District Station, where we were received by the station Chief, and, presented the FfF bundle on behalf of the Greenville Browncoats.
Our next stop was the Taylors #2 FD (Brushy Creek), and, we presented another set of goodies, there. Upon our return to our first stop, the crew was still out on call, so, Rhiotre and I parted ways with Patrick, planning to make delivery tomorrow morning.
However, after Rhiotre and I got supper, we swung back by stop #1 one more time, and, found the crew in. We made our final presentation of the evening, then, went triumphantly to WalMart to have our digital images processed, for easy upload tonight.
I was eight gorram minutes too late, when I went back to pick up the CD =-[.]-=.
So, pics tomorrow.
Anyway, we have made our first dent in the many fire stations in the local area. I doubt we can realistically expect to get to all of them, but, we can certainly do our Browncoat best.
So, more on the morrow.
Keep her flyin'!

Let's see some more reports, at least, and, if you have 'em, photos, too!

Some Browncoats have extended this till Christmas.
Did I miss a memo? I coulda sworn it was through Hallowe'en. But, hey, Christmas is a GREAT idea!
I'll just edit the first post, since that is a shiny notion!
I printed out the following on a sheet to pass out with the goodies, which included the basic gist of what we're doin,' a link to this FfF thread, one to our local group (optional) and, the graphic on my sig (which anyone is free to use for this purpose!):
[center] Firefly for Firefighters!

To the Firefighters who stand constant vigil over our community, we Browncoats (fans of the television series Firefly) would like to present your station with a token of our appreciation for your ongoing efforts to safeguard all our lives and property.
We believe that the enjoyment of any good thing is only enhanced by sharing it with others; this is something which we enjoy a great deal, and, which we hope will provide many hours of entertainment to you between calls and station duties.
Thanks, again!
The Greenville Browncoats

Some rather non-plussed-looking firefighters in those photos, hah! They'll get their plus back after they watch the DVDs, though.
I'd do this for our own local BDHs, but being married to one of them, I know from personal experience that the last thing any of them needs is an excuse to spend MORE time down at the station. It's an all volunteer force without specific shifts, and when they're not on a fire call or doing rig maintenance, they should be home with their families. Now if I were to give EACH ONE a set to take home, now, that'd be shiny!

Shiny!
You one of our Big Damn Smoke-Eaters, Jubel?
Let us know how everybody responded. 'Cause, as with any virally-transmitted condition, folks'll be takin' this home from work with 'em, too. Might clue 'em in to this forum, as well; we'd all make 'em very welcome!
