Come on guys. $10,000 is only $0.25 each. At $25.00 each only 400 member need contribute. I thought we'd see easily $100,000 in contributions. With high enough contributions, a trust could be set up as a funding source or maybe fund more AMA scholarships......Let's git'r' done. ....I dream alot.....But, why not....

I covered myself and 3 others ($100), anybody want to match it??

That's less than one servo, that's it. Nobody else can spare that to help send our guys to the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS????

The pattern guys are watching and are amazed that the Giants are even doing this. Let's show them what we can do!!!

Sleepy,
Count me in. I can't do the Paypal for some reason but I'll send you $25.00 by mail. Brett lives down in The Woodlands and I'm gonna put a little something in his pocket before he leaves too.
I just talked to his Dad and we have a sticker he's putting on his wing when he goes to the Worlds. I'll get a pic and send it to you.
