[Robotgroup] Donation of RG Christmas Tree

[thecomers at juno.com]

Denise:

I will not have time to work on a PVC tree, so this may have to wait for another year. Do you need any monetary donations to help pay for the tree?

As far as ornaments go, I think I have a small wind-up robot dog from Wow-wee if I can find it. I went by Savers and got a bag of small plastic Furbys (originally from McDonalds?) and a bag of robot-looking toys (one resembles the Ponginator). Some I will leave as-is, but I wanted to try to paint a couple to resemble Marvin's rusted toys.

Thanks,
Bob Comer

Great idea.  If it doesn't happen this weekend, at this PVC version, perhaps we can consider something like this for next year.  I think this "Holiday Extravaganza" is going to be a yearly event. And of course, a glowing baby head goes with any ensemble.  The perfect accessory!

The center trunk would be a stack of crosses with opposing "branches" extending from the crosses. An ornament could be attached at the end of each branch. And the whole thing painted with a nice rust finish - maybe one shade for the tree and another shade for the ornaments. Oh, and to top it off, a glowing baby head.

We are going to do it, but I thought last night that we would do a medium sized tree.  However, if the residents and staff are bidding on these trees, I thought it would be better if it was small, something that could possibly fit on one of the ledges outside of the doors of the apartments.

I will be there on Monday evening anyway, and will finish the tree off (not what is crossing your minds) so that they can auction it the next day.
