    I searched for "kit for kids" and did not find it :( (found other pages about football shirts and africa)

    Could someone please post a link? or tell me exactly what to search for (is it a page or a group???)

    Olive - I've posted on my status and put a link to the FB page. With regards to the pic do you have a digital camera? You could then upload the pic to your hard drive and put it on that way.....might be a bit clearer than a webcam.


    http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Kits-for-Kids/120253084700023 Link for those that want it. It's called Kits for Kids.

    Hi,
    Have looked on Facebook (first-time user) but can't find the page. Searched "Kit for Kids" but it brought up something about the Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque!

    BTW, the name "Kits 4 Kids" is already being used by several groups/businesses. eg

    "Kits 4 Kids Charitable Trust was established in 2010 for the purpose of creating sporting opportunities for underprivileged youth throughout New Zealand."

    "A voluntary organisation that aims to send Kids in Malawi, aid in the guise of sports kits, small sports equipment, young childrens clothes, small toys and first aid equipment"

    "Kit 4 Kids is a friendly, family run second-hand childrens shop, we have been open for 3 years now."

    (There are several others!)

    Is this a problem?

    So good thing we are Kit for kids then?
    I don't think it will be a problem.
    If we're sued for copyright infringement there's no money, and a very short shelf life in our campaign ;)
    By Christmas :eek:

    When Popeye gets home I'll get him to work the scanner properly - it is not good that it looks so amateur at the moment, but I'm still holding out for a professional logo....... :o

    Hi, MG,

    Looks good, but Olive's used "Kit for Kids" rather than "Kits 4 Kids". (Former throws up fewer other groups etc on Google search than the latter, too!)

    How's your water baby getting on? Is he still loving it?

    He appeared in my room at half-five this morning - nappy off and swim shorts on.

    "Swimming Pool Mum!!!!!"

    Still have no idea how he knows it's Fridays:rotfl::rotfl:

    Loves the trip in the school bus, loves the mucking around with the kids getting undressed, loves the swimming, the splashing and the jumping in - even loves the showers afterwards.

    HATES HATES HATES - being dressed again and plonked in the bus to go home!!!!!

    Quick nap and he's lovely self again

    MG I have sent you a PM re poster

    All, I sent MGs suggestions to the volunteer and I have asked him to let MG have his thoughts. I am not sure how much I will be around over the weekend. Now why do I have the feeling I will be pages behind on Monday :) I can be PM or emailed or facebooked or twittered if anybody needs anything done urgently and I will do my best to keep up.

    Have a good weekend all.
