Hey guys, I thought I would jump on the band wagon and show the list a letter from Scott Stapp. This was back when we had the coolest moderator. His name was Tom Peditto. Excuse any typos but I had to type this since I don't keep archives. But I did print it because I thought it was neat.

Hey -
Creed is home. We just returned after spending most of the last 14 months on the road. The tour has been amazing and I want to personally thank every one of you who came out to see our shows. It's great knowing that we have so many friends across the country.
One of the first things I did upon returning home was to check out Creednet.com and the Creed discussion group. It blew me away to see so many of you talking and about the upcoming birth of my child, Jagger. My wife and I are totally overwhelmed with your kindness, warmth and good wishes and want to thank everyone for caring so much.
We really appreciate seeing that many of you want to send presents to us for the baby.
As we prepare to welcome our child into the world we talked about the many other people and especially children throughout the world far less fortunate than us. We look forward to the congratulating cards, letters and e-mails that you guys might be planning on sending us, however we feel that rather than receive individual gifts, it would be more meaningful if we all collectively celebrated life by contributing to one organization that reaches out to children everywhere.
We have chosen UNICEF. For those of you planning on sending gifts we suggest instead that you send a donation to UNICEF. Tom Peditto will be informing you of the details. We would like to get the fund started by contributing 5,000 dollars from us.
Once again thanks for your good wishes, thanks for your support and most of all thanks for being who you are.
Keep on rockin,
Stapp
PS: Sorry for the delay in getting to you. Tom Peditto did contact me but it's been real hectic here with the tour and getting back home.
Hope you guys enjoyed this, I actually enjoyed re-typing it! ~Michele
