MiGT: Flymolo's Day 2 Report

Ho!
Day one is over and I'm sitting like a ballerina at two-two. See what I did there? Tutu? Two-two? Two and two? 2-2... yep.

MiGT: Charity Army Success!

A quick kudos should be given to Mike for putting togheter the charity raffle that was featured at the MiGT.  This raffle raised over 500$ for the Allen Neighborhood Center in Lansing Mi.  Their site can be found here.  This community center truely does great work around the east side of Lansing and I was very happy to see them be the benifactors of this charitable event.  The Warhammer community really opened their wallets. We had almost an average of 10$ per person for this which might not sound like a lot but, we were very pleased for so much support from a relatively small event.  

You Have Time For Three Things

Ho,
Fly Molo back and not, er, gone.

I am a middle aged man. I have time for three things in life:

One family.
One job.
One hobby.

Donation Army Update

Of, relating to, or derived from living matter.

Ho,
Fly Molo back again with an update. That first line is the definition of "organic," and it is important to this project. This project is now organic. It has faces, a name, parts and it is truly living matter. I set out with a plan and I am now watching that plan change and grow... and that's okay! Its like planting vines next to a trellis: I can lay the framework on where I want the vines to go, but if they don't cooperate, then they don't. And that's okay.

An Open Letter

To Whom It May Concern,

This is Mike Loniewski with Dark Future Gaming, a mid-Michigan Warhammer blog. I’m writing you today in hopes that you can help us with a project. We are attempting to make the world a slightly better place by donating money to a local non-profit called the Allen Neighborhood Center. It is a group run by a gal named Joan Nelson that sets up community gardens, runs farmer’s markets, provides base-level food assistance to local residents and generally does GOOD in the world. They are set up on the east side of Lansing and have been doing great things with very limited resources for our community. They have been in the local news recently because they are attempting to make an indoor full-time farmer’s market to provide local organic food to their city residents who typically don’t have access to healthy food. You can read more about them at http://allenneighborhoodcenter.org/. Their site has their annual reports listed there also, in case you wish to learn more about their situation.

A Gift - 2

Ho,
Fly Molo back with an update.
After much contemplation and consideration, I have decided on the theme and format of this donation.

I am assembling a 1850 point Chaos Space Marines / Chaos Daemons army to be raffled off at the Michigan Grand Tournament in Lansing coming up on September 29th. I plan on making the army list and soliciting realtors and other gamers for the exact models. I will assemble and paint the army and I will sell raffle tickets at $2 a piece online and during the event. I'll draw a single winner from all of the tickets.

A Gift

Ho,
Fly Molo here again, attempting to bring a little goodness to your day.
That's been a new thing of mine lately. Not so much the being good thing, but attempting to bring that good to as many people as I can. I think that's a noble thing to do and it is something that I want to be able to draw from my entire life as a source of positivity. Alas, this is a Warhammer blog.

Foodhammer: Gaming for a Noble Cause! Get Involved

Old School here to talk about an event that has a really great cause: Foodhammer, a great annual Charity event that helps raise food for families that may struggle through the holiday season! Here are more details from the folks at Fresh Coast 40k:

Win a Chaos Marine Army, Join the Black Crusade, Help Charity!

Old School here to help get the word out about the Black Crusade 2012, a multi-hobbyist project that will create a beautiful Chaos Space Marine over the coming weeks and GIVE it away to a lucky ticket holder! The project is another great charity army designed by some of the same folks (including Dave Taylor) who brought you the Storm Wardens and the Heroes of Armeggedon -- all for the Jack Vasel Memorial Fund.

For more information here is the details straight from the project's blog:
