Joe as a moderator does a ton of work here at RFF keeping it the kind of place we all appreciate coming to. As far as I know, he receives no compensation for what he does. Joe has indicated that he would like to win that Zeiss RF in the RFF contest. Here is my idea: if he happens not to win it in the contest, if 100 of us chipped in $20 each, we could buy him one as a show of appreciation. What do you think?

Here's the plan then:

Any RFF members who wish to show their appreciation for the excellent and uncompensated job that Back Alley Joe Rizzuto is doing for this RFF site, are invited to contribute to a group gift which will be presented to Joe. The gift is a Zeiss RF camera and a lens of Joe's choice (50, 35, or 28mm).

There are 3 ways to contribute to this gift.

1) You may send a PayPal payment to RFF member: Ray_g @ rgeneroso@gmail.com ,
2) you may make a credit card payment for an item named: Joe Rizzutos-RFF @ $5 each, listed on the RFF sponsor site: PopFlash.Photo, or
3) you may send a money order to PopFlash.Photo to pay for an item listed as: Joe Rizzutos-RFF @ $5 each.

A $20 donation is suggested.

OK the part number is "Joe Rizzutos-RFF" at:

http://popflash.com/item.cfm?id=$...2N_0

Thank you for your help, Tony Rose!

What I meant was: I'mway inway 🙂

Frank, put me down for a contribution. Policing a BBS is no piece of cake and usually thankless. Joe does a great job and from what I've seen in the short time I've been here, does so with an even hand (no easy task). He deserves some thanks ... and a new camera to buy 35mm lenses for.

Frank, you can count me in. I've been a moderator on a couple of listserves and it's definitely not a cakewalk (hmmm, old expression, does anyone say 'cakewalk' any more??)

Yes, they do. 🙂

Anyways, I'm sure I could scrounge together a few backs. Great idea, Frank!
 
Hey, thanks for the quick positive responses! I don't have a payPal account and agree it may be an easy way for may (though not all) folks to contribute. So, who has a PayPal account willing to collect this way? I'm willing to collect checks, cash, or MO's. Honest, I can be trusted.
 
A question. I am guessing that the camera shoould be bought in Canada, so as to avoid any Customs issues. Whaddya think ?


Frank, I would be glad to mail you a check too.
