update on Women of Rennlist Calender

It's time...... If you haven't already heard the Women of Rennlist, known as the WOR's on Off Topic, are putting together a 2008 Calendar with all the Proceeds (after production and mailing costs) to go to Project Rennwish . The Calendar will feature 12 WOR's with their Porsche's. The pictures will reflect each WOR's distinct personality. There have been teaser photos and avatars floating around on the different forums and John D. may be working on my teaser photo as I write this.... Anyway, we posted previously trying to gauge your interest and now we are confident that there is enough interest to move forward so we are asking you now to private message Leslie. (yes that's "Leslie.") with your name, address, how many you would like and your preferred payment method. Thank you! -Jenn

Good morning everyone! I'm asking everyone to send me a PM with your name, mailing address, number of desired calendars, and preferred method of payment. The process is moving forward! Thanks, guys!

It's that time! Yup, here's the moment you have been waiting for. I have finally determined all of the details for the calendar purchase, but please don't just jump to the bottom and start making payments, please read this whole post! FIRST, I HAVE AN INCREDIBLE ANNOUNCEMENT. We have been honored by one of our own, an amazing Anonymous Angel, who has graciously asked for "permission" to pay for the entire cost of production, including shipping to me from Shutterfly, of up to 350 calendars, or 50 over our order, whichever is less!! This Angel says he doesn't want his money back, he just wants to ensure that plenty of calendars are sold, and that no one (that would probably be me) gets stuck out of pocket with a bunch of calendars that didn't sell. (OCBen, you are now officially forbidden by the Angel to pester me anymore about getting better printing deals or anything else. ) So....what does this mean to us? The result is that 90% or more of your purchase price will be going to Rennwish, and not to various expenses! It also means that we can offer the calendars at a flat $20 each, without requring extras for postage and Paypal fees, because we are going to make plenty of money for Rennwish. We won't clear just a measly $5-6 per calendar as originally planned, but instead, approximately $17 of each Paypal sale will go to Rennwish, and of each check or money order sale, approximately $18 will go to Rennwish. This is not saying that you can't add on to your Paypal or check if you wish to. If you wish to ensure that all $20 goes to Rennwish, you can add an extra $2 (or $3 if paying by Paypal), and that will net $20 for Rennwish. (Those of you who are out of country should make a personal decision whether you wish to add extra for the extra cost of postage -- that figure would be pure speculation on my part at this point.) Before you ask...why will only $17 or $18 go to Rennwish if you pay $20? Shutterfly informs me that flat US postage for each calendar will run $2.16. If you use Paypal, that will cost an extra $1.00. So, if you wish to tack on extra, that will be appreciated, but with the Angel's assistance, we are going to make so much for Rennwish now, I feel we can do a flat $20, and still make a very nice donation. So, now comes the important part: If you said you preferred to pay with Paypal, the payment address is: [email removed] . That is open for business as of right now. If you indicated to me that you would be paying by check or money order, I will PM each of you before the end of this week with the payee and mailing address information (sorry, but I don't want it all over the web). If you previously told me you wanted to pay by Paypal, and now wish to change to check/money order, please send me another PM and I will give you that information as well. However, please note....I'm setting up a second checking account with my bank to handle this money, so as not to get it mixed in with my own budget, so if you are sending me a check, it will be a couple of weeks before those checks clear back to your account because my second account is still in process of being opened. ONE FINAL THING -- VERY IMPORTANT!! I am basing the number of calendars I order on the PM'S I RECEIVE, so PLEASE DO NOT SEND A PAYMENT WITHOUT A PM. Otherwise you might not get a calendar! Thank you all for your support, encouragement, and donations to Rennwish. You're all champions to the WOR!

UPDATE: 215 calendars ordered by 156 people so far! Nice!!! Keep 'em coming, guys!!

A little birdy told me this weekend that some people have sent me PMs requesting calendars and I have not gotten back to them. If you are one of those people who has not received a response from me, I offer my profuse apologies. I thought I was being very careful to go through my inbox methodically and not miss anything, so I cannot say whether I am having technical issues, or simply having senior moments, but I beg your forgiveness and ask you to please contact me again. I have well over 400 PMs from 220+ people in my inbox these days...so please don't take this the wrong way, but it will take way more hours than I have to go back through every PM and figure out who I'm missing. Thanks for your patience and understanding! WE HAVE OVER 320 CALENDARS SOLD!!! WOOO HOOOOO!!!

So here's an update on where we are. The deadline for getting your reservations in to me is November 20 (next Tuesday), but that's really just a date I pulled out of my head many weeks ago. It isn't written in stone. In reality, I can accommodate last minute Paypal orders up until Sunday, 11/25. If you contact me on or after 11/21 for a Calendar, plan to pay by Paypal, as there won't be sufficient time to mail me a check, what with the holiday weekend. If you are sending me a check and have not done so yet, I HIGHLY recommend you get the check into the mail by TOMORROW, as there are not many banking days next week. My plan is to place the printing order on Monday or Tuesday after Thanksgiving (11/26 or 27). I should have them back by early December (Shutterfly says approximately 1 week delivery), and as soon as they arrive I'll start mailing them out, starting with out-of-country packages first, to give them the maximum time to reach their destinations. So that's it! Now, what to do about the few that contacted me early for a calendar and then never got back to me with mailing information, etc.? Shall I post all their screen names for public humiliation and ridicule?

So, today's pretty much the last day for getting calendar orders in. We have a total of 435 reserved as of now, with about 40 payments still waiting to be receivecd. I think we will order only 450, unless a lot more payments show up today or tomorrow. So, guys, if you've been waiting to the last minute to pay up, it's the last minute now! It's your final chance!

My calendar arrived today.... September has always been my favorite month Leslie, thanks for organizing this and thanks to everyone who is featured in the calendar - it's a wonderful calendar with funds going to a good cause - excellent idea, glad to support and hope to see another one next year! There are some great pictures and some great looking cars in there!

Calendars have shipped this week. Thanks to all that chose to support Project Rennwish with the purchase of one. Unsticking.

Hello All, Well, I know everyone has been dying to know how Rennwish did after the calendar sale. Thanks to the Rennwish Angel and many others who contributed extra over their purchase price, we did extremely well!! I've been asked to split up the sales between 2007 purchases and 2008 purchases, for tax purposes, so that Rennwish can issue letters of acknowledgement to everyone who contributed or purchased. Therefore, in 2007 I received a total of $10,590.96 in payments. After Paypal fees ($291.34) and costs of mailing (labels and envelopes for $339.04 and postage of $926.17), I will today be mailing out the below check for $9,034.41 to Rennwish for 453 sales in 2007. 2008 sales (an additional 12 calendars so far) should hopefully be finalized by next week. I'm merely awaiting the final sweep of funds from the Paypal account from my last minute purchasers, and then a second check will go out in the amount of $228.79 , as things stand today. Unless I get any MORE last minute purchasers?? THEREFORE, AS OF TODAY, A TOTAL OF $9,263.20 HAS BEEN RAISED FOR RENNWISH!! THANK YOU ALL FOR ALLOWING ME THE PLEASURE OF HANDLING THIS LABOR OF LOVE. AND THANK YOU ALSO FOR YOUR PURCHASES AND CONTRIBUTIONS!!

Ooops...almost forgot. Many people asked for a list of the models and their cars. Please download and print this list if you were one.

That check doesn't have any routing number or bank number - THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO CASH IT. SCAM ALERT!!!!!!!!! oh wait maybe you photoshoped them out because this is posted on the internet.

My calendar had 12 hot Nigerian women each with a pimped up CGT. I wonder why? ATTN: Dear Sir/M, I am Mr.David Mark. an Auditor of a BANK OF THE NORTH INTERNATIONAL,ABUJA (FCT). I have the courage to Crave indulgence for this important business believing that you will never let me down either now or in the future. Some years ago, an American Mining consultant/ contractor with the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, made a numbered time (fixed)deposit for twelve calendar months, valued $12M.USD (TWELVE MILLION US DOLLARS) in an account. On maturity, The bank sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, The bank sent another reminder and finally his contract employers, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation wrote to inform the bank that he died without MAKING A WILL, and all attempts by the American Embassy to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore, made further investigation and discovered that the beneficiary was an immigrant from Jamaica and only recently obtained American citizenship. He did not decla re any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank deposit paper work. This money total amount$12M.USD ( TWELVE MILLION US DOLLARS)is still sitting in my bank as dormant Account. No one will ever come forward to claim it, and according to Nigerian Banking policy, after some years, the money will revert to the ownership of the igerian Government if the account owner is certified dead. This is the situation, and my proposal is that I am looking for a foreigner who will stand in as the next of kin to beneficiary, and OPEN a Bank Account abroad to facilitate the transfer of this money. This is simple, all you have to do is to OPEN an account anywhere in the world and send me its detail for me to arrange the proper money transfer paperwork, and facilitate the transfer.The money will then be paid into this Account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me, 35 % for you and 5% for expenses that might come up during transfer process. There is no risk at all, and all the paper work for this transaction will be done by me using my position and connections in the banks in Nigeria. This business transaction is guaranteed.And the first phase of the transfer will be ($4M.USD) FOUR MILLION DOLLARS as advised by our insider in the bank.If you are interested, please reply immediately through my personal email sending the following details: (1) Your Full Name/Address (2) Your Private Telephone/fax Number. Please observe the utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest some of my share in your country. I look forward to your earliest reply. Yours, Mr.David Mark.
