Thank you for the reply...The folks asking via emaio were Jeff Wright for Norman and Shannon Running. I read a few things on this site, became a bit concerned, found the email for help was virtually identical to one posted in 2007, responded directly to the Runnings, asked for a physical address and 501(3)c #... got that back, researched with the IRS..found it to be the non-profit number for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Rosebud..called them, spoke to Tevis, it took him a moment but he said the request was legit. My friends sent warm weather gear, clothes, jewelry, games, and other things... with more coming. But I still a bit hinky about the whole thing. I'll check your links out and if you have any further to add from my comments above, would be greatly appreaciated.. if you want to make it off-line - email is think.peace@att.net.
