Title: TGMM?
Post by: Cavscout9753 on April 03, 2015, 05:12:00 PM
Some of my favorite posters have this in their sig lines. Searched for it and just got the usual joke-laden threads. Can anyone fill me in on this? Will membership opportunities be in the St. Judes auction and...I hate to ask this, and dont take it wrong, but is it worth it?

There's only one way to find out.  I personally am unaware of anyone who has ever regretted finding out.

It's for the kids of St.Judes!
That makes it worth it to me.   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

I'd tell ya, but the group would hunt me down and whoop me with a wore out bow string!
It's a leap of Faith, for the Kids!
Been a member for a lot of years, and no regrets.

It must be exclusive, or illegal since no one will tell the rest of us...

I'll be as forthcoming and a bit more verbose than my TGMM brothers, within the bounds of our oath.

You see, Im not much for "secret" handshakes and all that, but the intrigue here is that you step up to the batter's box, plunk down your cash and take a swing at the C'-word" and try to add your $.02 to drive it outa the park for St. Judes.  

The money goes to the fund raiser here...all of it.  And you get to log into the exclusive group with their own forum, which is locked till you have paid your "dues".

From then on, you're encouraged to continue to be very active here, on all the forums, but on TGMM as well.

Lots of good people, neat stuff, and further chances to help the Kids of St. Judes....

Doesn't get much better'n that.

Can't win the lottery if you don't play, and can't get the full scoop till you anti-up and see your hole card!

Think Doc laid it out pretty well. I'm not too clear on when the St Judes auction opens up, but if I catch it I'm in. St. Judes is truely a miricle for many many people. As a father of two small boys I'm happy to help.

Been here longer than 10 years and I have always wondered what TGMM meant.  It must be tied to St. Judes though I am still clueless (not on St. Judes) but on what TGMM means and why some have it??

The only way to find out is to join, you wont regret it.

I have wondered for years (look at my member #) what TGMM meant and what do you guys mean to "join.?" I really am sorry- NOT trying to be difficult- I just have never understood what it is.  What is TGMM? How/why would someone "join?"    

Thanks

Same here, Dan.   :dunno:   See my member number--85, and I still am clueless.  Best kept secret in archery, I guess.  Better kept than most of our military operations.

Well, let's put it this way.  If anyone joins and is offended by anything he finds, and wants his money back, I will personally refund it (or at least I will for the first one who asks; I don't have bottomless pockets).  If I said anything beyond that, I would probably have to change my name and move, because I wouldn't want to face the wrath of all the other TGMMers who would be out looking for me.

If nothing else maybe this post will cause a little more traffic for the cause. If anyone is left out there that isn't familiar with St Jude's (and I don't think there are many), thousands of kids every year who are diagnosed with life threatening illnesses are invited to Sr Jude's children hospital in Memphis Tennessee for treatment and research. The facility is not only a state of the art treatment and research center, but they go out of their way to ensure the kids and families have as good of a time as possible. One of the best parts is that none of the families pay a single dime for the care. Instead, St Jude's relies on donations to provide these services. So, even if you don't do the TGMM thing, participating in the auction can go a long ways towards helping children and families across America.

I think what CAVScout is saying is that normally, if you peruse the St. Jude's Auction, you'll find a way to JOIN TGMM via donation to St. Jude...on one or more of the auction pages.

Pays to canvass each of the several auctions, all pages, and keep in the thick of it and your many good questions will be answered there!

It's about helping St. Judes...and the Auction is all about St. Judes, so the answers you seek should be there on the auction in the next weeks!

If you have questions about how to do the auction, here's the link that links to all that:

I'm the founder of TGMM and have watched it grow for the past ten years. I'd be happy to fill you all in on it. Just takes a $150 donation to St. Jude's through the auction. Take a peek in the giveaways forum and you'll get a little taste of some of the other things we do.
Title: Re: TGMM?
Post by: Doc Nock on April 06, 2015, 07:51:00 PM
THERE!

You got it straight from the Leader's lips!

One time, lifetime membership for $150.00 donation to St. Jude!

And after that, and you're a "member" the giving and fun continues...

Thanks for posting Dave (Vermonster13)

Post by: KSdan on April 06, 2015, 10:36:00 PM
Thanks. Glad someone could just spell it out for us.  All these years regularly here and I have never known of the opportunity.  Good to know.  A special donation of $150 to St. Judes  places you in TGMM.  Thanks again.

Trond,

Well we let Jeff in and he's in New Zealand, so the answer would be a resounding yes. We're worldwide and right next door.
