    St. Louis Charity event...

    I think this is the right place, but I could be wrong. Move this if needed.

    Every year for the past few years, I have attended this charity event. It is very low key, if you are looking to mow newbies, don't read any further. The kind of crowd I have seen at the AO-MO events have fit the bill, so I am putting this out there.

    It's PAINTBALL Time
    5th Annual Paul Moore Memorial Paintball Game
    September 23, 2006
    Yep, it's that time of year again. The money that is raised will go to the Olsen Family Garden (http://www.stlouischildrens.org/arti...nts.asp?ID=980) at St.Louis Children's Hospital. There is a memorial stone for Paul at this garden.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For those who do not know why we do this :
    Lisa and I were expecting our first child in 2001. After the first ultrasound at Barnes Hospital, noticed that the heart was not fully developed.
    Later during the pregnancy Lisa was admitted for premature labor and spent several days at Barnes. I would take her over to the Olsen Family Garden at Children's Hospital to get away from all the stress and relax. This place helped us get our thoughts together and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

    Paul was born and died on September 12, 2001
    due to heart complications.

          My name has changed...

          Not sure what happened, and can't seem to reach the webmaster, but I can't get in using "Shives", so I am now "shives007". If you replied to this thread via PM, I didn't get it.

          I have a couple of possibles from here, and 2 from work. I need to let the organizer know numbers in a couple of weeks, so I'll bump this back up to encourage people.

          Thanks,
          Shives

                  Had about 20 people despite a slight drizzle that feel off and on through out the day. W/out adding in the take from selling food and refreshments, we sent about $500 to Children's Hospital. Not bad for a fun day of paintball.

                    glad to hear it

                    i assume you got the barrel and everything was good with it?

                    sorry i couldnt make it but im pretty tied to the field.

                    but gotta find another job there since the new owner is trying to screw everyone, and the manager makes too much $ for not doing jack crap

                    i wish i owned my own field

                      Yep, I got it. It seems to fit the Sov perfectly. I actually didn't shoot it Saturday, I had too many other toys to rotate through. It was a great time though. Can I leave you feedback somewhere?

                      PS: Gonna drop you a PM as well.
