Sleepy was at the Rockford Huckfest when you gave. He'll take care of you as soon as he gets back. Thanks for the donation!

Hey guys, if you have donated and do not have an award, please let me know, I am traveling quite a bit right now, as well as doing all my normal work, so if i missed you it was not on purpose.
I'm checking the account and I'll have an updated total in a min here.

OK...

Wow we are doing well.

We have $3279.63 in the Paypal account, and I have messages from people that have sent checks to the team for a total of $525 .

So all in all right now, we are looking at $3804.63.

This is GREAT! KEEP IT COMING! We only have around 4 - 5 more weeks!

This crew ROCKS!!!

I'm going to another Pattern contest this weekend, we'll have some great flying goin' on, of course I'm not one of the better ones, just there to keep from embarrassing myself...

All of the Pattern fliers in this area are aware of what you guys are doing here on the Giants, and are seriously impressed with your generosity...let's not let it stop here!!!

Thank you Flying Giants for all you've done and all you will do, you all totally ROCK!!!

Good deal. Add $30 to that (I'm already in for $100 first time) and I'll match anything past it up to another $100 from you, how's that?? Can't do $10,000 right now.

Pattern fliers have been donating at every contest, purchasing tshirts and stickers.

Also, there is a pass the hat at most major events... Tucson Shootout and Clovercreek last year both contributed to the Team.

What a great hobby where we can pull together to support those who excel and represent our country, how jealous I am but couldnt be more proud of the guys that represent us.

Go Team USA.
