FG MEMBERS FUNDRAISER FOR CHILDREN OF FALLEN SOLDIERS

[woody63]

Hats off to Fromeco for being the 1st company to support this. Now let's see if some of the other companies we buy from will help out. Show us that you believe in what your customers support.

If it weren't for the men and women in our armed forces doing what they do we would not be able to enjoy this wonderful hobby like we do. I am proud to be able to say I served for 8 years as a Marine, and I grateful to those who gave their life for us. Remember the spouses and children of those we've lost have lost more than we can imagine, not only financially but emotionally. We can't do much about the emotional part, but we can help in the financial part. Every $5 donated means maybe another gallon of milk or helps another child realize his/her dream of getting a college degree. I know all of our fallen soldiers, like all parents, wanted to see their children finish college and I am willing to do my part in seeing those dreams come true.

Come on FG members show your support, every $1 helps, all we're asking for is what you feel you can give.

By the way, I don't add $$$ in until they get here just to avoid confusing myself. So when the checks come in, I'll add them.

Keep rocking FG! We will break $2000 easy.

Max your lucky, after the Nall this year I have a few great stories I could tell. I want to challange everyone that has joined us at the camp fire on the hill at the Nall each year to donate to this worthy cause.

woody63, new PLATINUM CLUB Member!!!

Hey Max, since I can't make it to the roast could I get a new FG hat instead, the last one is wore out.

Thanks for your service, donation, challenge, and a great write up!!

And 50%, you'll see the video of the double snapasaurus soon!

Guys, we're off to a great start!!! Thanks to all who have donated. When I first read this thread, I started thinking about the kids who will grow up without a mother or father because one of their parents was brave enough to leave their family and go fight for OUR continued freedom and safety. Many of us spend thousands a year on toy airplanes. With over 20,000 members, if half of us donate $1.00 we could send $10,000 to this great cause. I am not one of the first to jump on the charity bandwagon.....for some reason his one got to me. To see only a little over a dozen names on this list is very upsetting. Come on guys. While $1200 is nothing to sneeze at, as a group we can do much better!!

Dave, I am sure the accounting on this one is a good bit of work. Thanks again to you and all you are doing for this wonderful cause. Craig

It's really not all that bad. This is absolutely exceeding my initial expectations. I have a feeling when we get the checks in the mail (that have been pledged) you guys are gonna flip in amazement.

I get the feeling a new goal will have to be set soon.

[SuperDave]

If anyone would like to donate at the Shootout, feel free. At the end of each day, I'll have three people with me to verify what we take in.

Next week, my intent is to have internet access at the Red Roof Inn to administer the drive while I'm at the Shootout. My lovely wife has offered to open the checks and send me emails with amounts and names so I can keep the list of donors and total current, as up to the minute as possible.

I will do my best to keep up with the list of donors at the Shootout.
