[mch2022-orga] Fwd: Bring and Donate

[Dimitri Modderman]

Awesome idea Michael!
I think we raised 4000 GBP for the Red Cross in total on EMF. Indeed all
what was needed was a tent, some tables and some crates/boxes.

Items found there varied from a working geiger counter, to moving heads
with video projectors in them to, what i took and donated for: bradnails
for in the nail gun.

You donate what you think it is worth or you can afford/miss. And bring
items (electronics/tools/books etc) that you don't want or need anymore,
clutter up your workshop etc. And it was awesome.

Hope we can do it on MCH too and can raise an nice amount of money for
charity.

Kind regards,
Dimitri
