Thoughts? I figure between all of us we can easily rally and put together a solid 15-20 packages to be shipped out to enlisted Newschoolers members on tour.

What do you guys think? I have a ton of my own personal stuff I'd throw in, along with a bunch of NS schwag and items from our partners & advertisers. Ideally we could also rally a few cash donations to help pay for the shipping of everything.

If there's enough support I'll get the ball rolling this week!

I still plan on making this happen! We just put in a big order of stickers / just received our new NS toques / should be getting more magazines in the coming weeks.

But... NS isn't a country, it's a group of people from around the world. I WAS going to say that sending things from NS would be dumb, but now I'm thinking: Send big NS stickers to all of them and instruct them to put them on their helmets. There might be a chance that two NS members are on opposite sides and when they both notice they aren't actually enemies of one another they will stop fighting and world peace ensues.

Only problem is that most confilcts are not fought between to opposing armies. Its more like a police type situation. Just with road side bombs instead of a switch blade.

Yes I'd really like to make this happen! We have a shipment of old NS product coming in that should be a good start. Once it arrives (it was suppose to be here a while ago), we'll get a few boxes prepped and start filling them.

it would be cool as hell to get a NS box in the mail. the normal care packages are sweet and we greatly appreciate them and the people that send them but, getting one that is all about something you can't wait to do again would be awesome.
