RIP to one of our own

[BlackRiflesBoy]

Joel will be missed. I knew him form the eat-n-shoots he was a fixture at. For those who never met him, he was one of those guys you meet and have an instant respect for. Humble, witty, always making people feel welcome, and then you learn of his service as a Marine and all the things he could brag about and never did. At a rimfire eat-n-shoot we had a while back, my son won the kids division on iron sights and I'm not sure which, but it was his 1st or 2nd time ever shooting. Joel made sure to make him feel proud and came up with a few OSA prizes he was excited to have won. Joel was a big part of this site and cared a lot about it. RIP sir.

Is there info on a service or a meet up of OSA members yet?

Only fee is the credit card fee from the processor.

There isn’t the normal fee taken out by places like go fund me

No, that is the reason it is being done through give send go. They do not keep anything you raise. Other platforms such as go fund me do.
There is a 2.9% processing fee once the donations are distributed that is charged by the payment processing company. All donations will go directly to the family.

That is awesome @MrChris! Thank you so much. I’m going to copy the link and sticky it in general discussion.
There are 10 stickied threads at the top. Those rotate when they are posted in so the donation thread may not always be the top one but in the top 10.
