Ok, Gang,
The owner of Blue Ocean aka Bill Williams is donating 16 bottles to our group.I will be bring them with me.Unfortunately that is all he offered.For those that are interested, I request you let me know ,so I can reserve a bottle for you.He did mention there should be more of the product at the Resort & or a Local store.In the conversation he mentioned that 20-25% of his revenue goes to the Marine park there.In exchange for his product he has asked me to ask you if you would make a donation to the Marine Park Reef Preserve there in Roatan. The normal cost of the product is $5.00.If you want to donate more or less that is up to you.I think we would all agree .Its rare today you find a person wanting to help our Oceans .I told him we wouldn't let him down.Below is the link for information on the Reef .And the video again...http://www.youtube.c...player_embedded<br clear="all">
http://blueocean-eco.com/community/ Along the tabs of the site are testimonials of the product.I hope we can make a difference and add to the cause..
Thank you..
Greg...

For the donations, I'm assuming we just hit up the Roatan Marine Park site and send them the amount we wish to donate correct?
Just wanted to make sure we shouldn't mark the donations a certain way. I plan on donating to this great cause.

HOW IT WORKS:

Hey Gang...the way this works is the price you pay for the awesome product (or any amount you wish to donate) will All go to the charity because the manufacturer GAVE us 12 bottles for FREE. We could use them any way we like but Greg and I thought we should "sell them" and take all the proceeds from the sale aka $5 a bottle and give that to the charity AND anything else we wanted to donate. So if everyone bought a bottle @ $5 then we have $60 for the charity. If we get $10 a bottle we get $120 for the charity and so on.

Now the idea is NOT to force someone to pay more for the bottle of product...we do want to get the full price of $5 a bottle BUT we want people to add a donation to it as well. This allows us to have fun with the donations but ensure we sell all 12 bottles so the product gets out in the market so the manufacturer gets the exposure he needs for his product AND we have a fun way to raise money for a great cause!

So I want a bottle myself and I will add $25 donation so $30 total for the cause. Anyone want to match me?

And if you can't... we UNDERSTAND!!! The idea is not to force someone to pay $$$ for the product but rather the full $5 and then donate any amt they can in addition to it. And if you can't right now...that is fine...we are getting $5 already just from the purchase!



*Greg is collecting the money in Roatan for your product and donation where he and I and anyone else who wants to join us... will give it to the charity directly when we are there. He has the product and will give it to you in Roatan to save on shipping. :cool1: and :thankyou:
