Republic of Lakotah Hoax

Hi All,
This is just a heads up about a letter circulating the net right
now asking for donations to the 'Republic of Lakotah" due to
the blizzard last week. (October 28, 2008)
The letter is a hoax at best, and worse, it appears to be someone
filling their own pockets. PLEASE DO NOT SEND DONATIONS
TO THE ADDRESS IN PORCUPINE ND.
If you want to donate and help any of the reservations in the
Dakotas, please contact their tribal councils and local governments
directly to find out what you can do to help out. We send our
donations directly to the church on the Standing Rock reservation,
so we know the donations are going to where they are most needed.
Here is some information about the letter and the alleged writer
of the letter, and below that is a copy of the letter that is circulating.
Blessings,
Sherry

FROM THE WEB:.................................................................
Umm, just a heads up that the "Republic of Lakota" is NOT the tribal government of the Sioux Nation, but rather a small group of activists who want to establish a separate nation across much of the Upper Midwest.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_LakotahI'm not saying the reservations don't need help, but donors, especially financial donors, might want to contact the reservations directly rather than send anything to the "Republic." Contact info for the various reservations in South Dakota can be found at:http://www.kstrom.net/isk/maps/dakotas/sd.html
.................................................................

You will be sending you money to a private person, a private group.Last I knew John Strobel the 'writer' was living in NJ NOT in Wyoming
as listed in the 'letter'. Lets leave it at that.
.................................................................

It does this every year out there. On parts of Navajo it also gets that way. Some parts of navajo are 6000+ feet up. People will be stuck for weeks with out a way to drive on a road.Most of them are prepared for this I find a one storm producing the results outlined in the email. These people have been living in these places for generations, they know what to expect in the winter. Like I said I suspect someone, who is using his AI background for his own purpose.

We are gifting approximately 125 children (tots to teens) and 40 elders + other adults!
Below you will find a list of shopping suggestions, in addition, we have a special request for Walmart ; Target gift cards of ANY amount. (I have been trying to pick up a $10 card each time I shop at Walmart.) Pastor Boots will use these cards to buy food and supplies for the community holiday meals, and to buy things that are needed that we are not able to ship. (Please remember all clothing should be suitable for rural North Dakota)
GIFT SUGGESTIONS- Warm clothing, jeans, sweaters, jackets, etc., for children; elders, all ages, sizes
- Toys (no toys guns etc.), games, puzzles, craft kits, crafting supplies, model kits, dolls, matchbox cars, play dough, coloring books, crayons, stuffed toys, card games like Uno, Old Maid, etc, checkers, ALL AGE GROUPS Tot to Teen

- Gloves, hats, socks lotions, soaps, etc; small gift bags pre-filled with things for teen girls, boys, or elders (IE for a teen girl: hair accessories, lotion, bubble bath etc. For an elder: snacks, lotion, warm gloves to fill a small gift bag).

Notes: If you pre-wrap or gift bag your gifts, please label with gender and age group or size.

sherrysherry2@ aol.com (remove the spaces)
This is the email address for The Peace Chapel on Paypal
DONATION OF SHIPPING BOXES 12 X 18 to 24 X 36 in size
Donations towards shipping costs especially needed I know during this tough economy, this can be an especially challenging year for us to find 'extra' to donate to the holidays, but this is when we are most needed! They really appreciate everything that we send out to them.
Gift donations may be dropped off at the front door of Angel Hill House at the above address 24/7, there is a donation box by the front door on the covered porch. (No need to knock - it makes the dogs bark.) Please leave your name with your donations.
Click here: Send Money - PayPal
Several people wrote asking if / how they can donate money online using PayPal if they don't have an existing PayPal account. The link above will direct you to the page to send money, using a credit card or online secure check, or bank account. If for any reason this doesn't work for you, send me an email, tell me how much you want to donate, and I can email you a PayPal money request. Either way it should be very easy to send in your donations.
Any amount is very much appreciated as we expect final shipping costs to exceed $750, (despite cutting our weight as much as possible) due to the rate increases with UPS due to much higher fuel costs.
If you prefer to send a paper check, please make your check payable to "The Peace Chapel", notation:
Holiday Project Donation,and send to:
Rev. Sherry Sherry
The Peace Chapel129 Governors Drive
Leesburg, VA 20175
Gift donations may be dropped off at the front door of Angel Hill House at the above address 24/7, there is a donation box by the front door on the covered porch. (no need to knock) Please leave your name with your donations.

Our final wrapping and box packing 'parties' will be the first Friday, and Saturday of December, 7 - 10 PM and Sunday 6 - 9 PM (AFTER OUR PRAYER LODGE ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON).

Sunday is the big crescendo of filling the shipping boxes, weighing and marking them and getting them all ready for UPS to pick and whisk away to North Dakota on the wings on Angels and Santa Claus!
Blessings,
Sherry Sherry
