Don't have the the donors ship direct. Sending
"drop-shipped" van get very messy.  The timing will be all
meshuga and if -- uh -- when something goes wrong know one
will know who lost or forgot to send what.

Collect everything in one place and send them out from
there. I'll put my name at the end of the list of folks
lining up to get this job.
