Elementary School Tsunami Quarter Drive

Wed, Jan 12, 2005

My wife and I have been helping out with my daughter’s school
Tsunami Quarter Drive. So far, (in three days), they have raised over
$1200. Today, the local newspaper sent out a reporter and photographer
to do a story about the children’s efforts to raise money.

As the reporter was asking the school principal some questions, a
first grader brought in her classroom jar with the days quarters. The
school principal asked the 6 year old student to talk about the
quarters she donated. A semi-toothless smile came across the girls face
as she got up her courage to tell her story to the reporter and the
others gathered. 

You see, she had lost her tooth the night before and the tooth fairy
left her four quarters. She decided that morning to donate the tooth
fairy quarters to the Tsunami Quarter Drive.

    Mr Tribble,

    My name is Matt, I am 20 year old junior in college. I am majoring in business management and biblical studies. I have always had the entrepreneurial spirit, and me and a few friends attempted to check into quixtar a few years ago. Well i realized later that I had made a mistake, but my friend had already been sucked in. He still makes no money like almost 3 years later. How can someone think thats I wise decision, I dont know. Anyway I am not sure what business you are a part of, but i am passionate about building a life for myself and for my family (whenever the family thing happens). I have always wanted to be financially successful, and successful as a father and husband. i guess i am just wondering if there are any tips or advice you can give me. i recently found some information about passport, Bo Shorts company, and it actually Looks promising. Because of my experience with quixtar, I am healthily skeptical about these ventures. Id appreciate anything you can help me with.

    Thank you for your time!
