Melinda (age 10), the "M" in "KVOM" is auctioning off her Johnnie coin to benefit the Forsyth County Humane Society.

Since I know where I put out this coin, and it is going for a good cause I have put a bit on it.

Thanks, Johnnie!

$252 ... I guess it does pay.

KVOM,

Email me copy of the receipt for whatever her latest donation ended up being, and I'll match it.

WOW! What an amazing gesture.

Very Impressive....

You are .... 'Da Man!'

That is so generous, Ricky.

Good to see parents teaching their children the importance of giving back.

Melinda presenting the check to the Humane Society today:

What a great thing to do, Melinda. All geocachers should be proud of you!

Me putting the matching donation in the mail:




I can only hope that someday my coin will be capable of inspiring donations for even a fraction of the amount of neutering that a Johnnie coin brings....

Big thanks to Ricky

So while I am attending The Great Smoky Mountain GeoQuest last weekend and doing a little coin trading with TAR and The Moop Along, I come accross this coin again. It seems whoever purchased the coin from eBay, anonymously mailed it to TAR as a replacement for the one stolen from him at last year's Lacy Campout.

What a thoughtful gesture on the buyer's part.

The buyer didn't reveal his/her geonick to me, and I won't reveal the name. However, it was a very generous act.

Wow! Just found this thread.

What a great history this coin has! I still have no idea who sent it to me, but if you know please pass along my appreciation.

Johnnie had also given me another, which toured events in my collection and was recently donated as a door-prize at an event so others could enjoy it.

I have (and will keep!) this one to take to events.
