Hey guys!

I don't come on here very often, but when university is not that demanding and/or I need some Arsenal fan opinion/score, I head over here.

Well I want to propose a get-well token to Eduardo. I know it sounds a little hard to do, but I figure if we get as many people as possible, perhaps something even as simple as a giant card with our names on it would work. That is just an out-of-the-blue idea; we can think of something that would work better.

All we need is someone on the board (or someone on the board who knows someone) who can get in touch with the club directly and ask for the shipping address. Heck, I'll try emailing the club and ask if we could send or little gift over to them and have them give it to him.

Any takers? Anyone up for pulling out something like this?

sounds like a great idea...as far as I know there are a few people here that may have some sort of connection. even if it's only the slightest bit.

I would be up for it but how do you expect to get everyone to get involved when we are dotted all over the world?

Well everyone could PayPal a dollar or something then we could get a card sent on behalf of ArsenalAmerica/BigSoccer, with some flowers. That would be best I think.

I am sure I can get this to the right hospital on behalf of Arsenal America. However I would suggest this happens the following way:

1 person organises it (don't care who, just that it isn't going to be me!!)
Everyone paypals that person once we know how many people want in for a card and flowers (personally I'd suggest a fruit bowl but thats me)
I will give that person an address I will get off the club and it can be sent.

There is also something on our home page where you can send messages to Eduardo
Send a message to Eduardo (http://www.arsenal.com/article.asp?thisNav=News&article=488049&lid=NewsHeadline&Title=Send+your+messages+of+support+to+Eduardo)

The club is going to collate them, put it in a book and send it to him.

OK, I'm thinking it should be someone in the UK, and if it's not Rick, it might as well be.... Aaron! ;) No, seriously mate, if you'd be willing to make the purchase of the flowers etc, that'd be fantastic. We'll put up a link here and on the ArseAm site for 24 hours or so to have people donate a few dollars via PayPal using the cash transfer option.

Sound good?

Let Aaron decide please!!! Don't pressure him, both of us have enough of our time over the next few weeks trying to catch up with tickets and money from when I was away. Thats not a small thing and will and has been taking up a lot of our time. Really and truely anyone can do this and the card can be sent from anywhere. Considering the majority of money would be from the US and our money is in a US account I would suggest someone in the States do it so we don't have to be losing money on fee's. Not to mention sending the same stuff via interflora is a lot cheaper from the States than the US. Sending a card is not that difficult either.

Mike - I'd appreciate if you could find a solution other than Aaron or I. Thanks.
