I'd like to tell everyone about a project that Ev1.net supports and one which both myself and Roy Marsh (Tight Wad Surfer) serve as board members. Between the founder of the program (David Moore) and our company, we supply over 1/2 half of the total funding.
www.elvesandmore.org
This program will deliver 20,800 bikes and 5000 gift boxes (each with about 6 gifts) to our areas poorest children.
On Saturday alone, over 8,000 bicycles were assembled. Take a look at the live web cams to see the enormous scale.
Dozens of our employees have been involved.
The program is the largest bike give away ever and we're proud to be a significant part of it.
Have a great holiday season and thanks for being our customers and helping to make this possible.
The Today show has shot a piece that will appear on the 23rd.

God loves guys like you, your brother and your company HeadSurfer! You never stop to count the money, you continue to improve what you sell and you never turn your back on the less fortunate around you.
It has been fun and an honor to not only watch you grow but to have been a part of it, however small, as a long-time client (fenced colo prior to DC1 era) with one box most of the time, two for a while.
Happy Holidays to you and yours.. how bout some BabySurfer Christmas pix bossman??

HeadSurfer without trying, has figured out how to keep a corporation connected to the end user. Does not matter how large the company gets, HeadSurfer keeps at it and keeps his signature on the company.
By doing what he does, he has not only created the best hosting business in the world, he's created something of almost a "cult" following... I say that with humor, because we all know his story and admire him for being the every day man who made it big and didn't forget who he really is.
The true American story!

David Moore is the true Santa, I am but a supporting Elf. It was his vision and passion to take it from 25 bikes 5 years ago to 20,800 bikes, over now 45,000 gifts in 5000 gift boxes, plus over 5,000 other gifts.
250 Uhaul/Budget/Hertz trucks - will haul all of the gifts on Christmas Eve, plus 50 busses to carry the volunteers.
It is the most exciting and rewarding thing I have ever been involved with.
Robert
PS.
On Saturday, when we assembled over 9,000 bicycles, it took 40 workers just to keep up with the trash and boxes.
