Don and Caddo Lake

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Thanks for the link, VOL! I looked it over, the GoFundMe page has a 5% fee for one thing, a 2.9% and $0.30 fee for another. Seems like a lot! The merch page doesn't say how much goes to Caddo Lake but since I have a co-worker and friend with the last name Henley, I'm not sure I want something that says HenleyHeads (unless I give it to them). It seems like it would be better to donate directly to them via the Caddo Lake Institute webpage?

VA, I saw the fees and extras and wasn't suggesting that anyone should buy and/or donate. I just wanted the 'HenleyHeads' here on The Border to have a chance to peek. If I was going to donate my inclination would certainly be to do it direct.

I wasn't questioning you, VOL! Just the idea of going through a third party. For those that don't know, I think most do, the telemarketers and things you get in the mail for most charities are the same, only they usually take even more off the top.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Tammie. Robbie and I started Talking to the Moon to give an official FB site for the Henleyheads. You can find the group here.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/henleyheads/

The Third Encore is a private group of about 20 people that is made up of some very close friends. Talking to the Moon is our sister site open to all.

The Caddo Lake Fundraiser has been fully approved by Mr. H. and as Robbie explained all proceeds made off the merchandise go directly to Caddo Lake. We take no percentage for any expenses from ourselves. The FundMe link money goes directly to the Caddo Lake Institute and does not go through us at all. We just thought it might be an alternative to buying the merchandise from Cafepress. We are currently setting up a way for people to donate directly to our fundraiser. That money will be given to Mr. H. to decide which area needs it the most and in the name of Henleyheads (which he is very familiar with now).

We hope you will join us on Talking to the Moon. Lots of content and lots of very cool people who love the Eagles and Don Henley. You can also see info about Caddo Lake at http://www.facebook.com/henleyheads which is the official Henleyheads for Caddo Lake Institute "like" page. Stop by and give us a like!!

If you have any questions, please ask us. We will gladly answer questions here or you can email us at henleyheads@gmail.com

Thanks for the interest!!

Tammie, I never meant to imply that you all were taking a percentage off the amounts! The fees go to GoFundMe, and I totally get that they need money for themselves in order to offer the service they provide. Unfortunately, I already made my donation through the Caddo Lake Institute website. I'm glad Don knows about what you're doing and approves of it, and I hope it's a complete success!

Thanks! We appreciate it and we appreciate you letting us talk about it on here too. We hope to be able to give Mr. H. a big check for the Caddo Lake Institute in the name of Henley fans everywhere!!
