westcoastchica 0 #1 January 26, 2004 Link Here (i know it's been posted elsewhere. ) anywho, we're scrambling to put together a kickass event. donors are stepping up all over the place to cover t-shirt costs, stuff to go in the bags, and tons of stuff for the raffle. it's going to be awesome!!! (in fact, for those of you that have eaten at the sushi place "kokoro" right down the street from the dz, i stopped by yesterday to pick up their $500.00 donation! go have some sushi! ) So...... When is it? February 7th & 8th (It’s coming up quick so start planning your visit now!) Who can play? Everyone who likes to have fun and wants to help our instructors get back on their feet. You don’t have to be a skydiver to register for this event and help out! What do I get for my $25 donation? You get $1 off every jump you make that weekend, an event t-shirt, a raffle ticket, goodie bag and the opportunity to help a very good cause! What else can I expect at the event? -A lot of hugs and thank yous from the instructors that you are helping! -An incredible “fire-side” raffle filled with loads of prizes ranging from free coaching, to reserve repacks, to gift certificates from restaurants and hotels in the area, and much much more! (So you don’t have to be a skydiver to enjoy many of the raffle prizes!) -Tons of load organizing! -Photo services from Joel Kiesel. Have Joel catch you on film landing and he’ll have a quality print available for purchase that day! (Joel is donating all profits to the instructor fund!) -A Saturday night party complete with bumpin’ music and fire spinners! -Lots of fun and much, much more! Come on out, makes some jumps and help out a good cause at the same time, what could be easier? We can’t wait to see you there! Let’s party down together and make this fundraiser an overwhelming success! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Casurf1978 0 #8 January 26, 2004 See you guys that weekend. Aggh I wish I could play hookie from work today and go there and jump a few times. While most of my co-workers talk about how they spent their weekend golfing all I can think about is the Otter and the view from 12.5K. See you this weekend though.

curtismelaniej 0 #12 January 26, 2004 I am SO there. We'll be team training, but still jump jump jumping for the instructors! I donated a couple of coach jumps to the cause too! Lob donated a ride on his Harley on the way to breakfast that he'll buy. Now THAT is a cool prize-- I'm still trying to think of something that cool... __________________________________________________________ http://www.skydiveelsinore.com/teams/EXCEL/basic_camp.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjf98 0 #23 January 27, 2004 I was asked to offer a "tour of Pendleton." I am more than willing to make the offer. I'll have to put some sort of official tour together. Here's what I'll offer. Those that will be there... or even those that won't, but know me. What do I have to offer that you would bid on. The obvious of coach jumps is there I guess, but surely there is something.

Michele 1 #24 January 27, 2004 I can't be there - surgery set for the 4th, so I will prolly not be able to handle the car trip, and certainly no jumps for a while (lest something fall out). But can I make the $25 fee and maybe some additional raffle tickets, and get a tee shirt? I'll give MJOSparky a check, all right? Who can he give it to? And who should I make it out to? Damn it, damn it, damn it. I can't be there. My family needs me, and I can't be there. Sorry, loves. Please, lew, hug everyone for me. Drat. Drat darn darn drat. Phooey and bafooey and geesh! Ceils - unhappy ceils. Big teary unhappy ceils. Michele Edited because swearing isn't my usual form of expression as Lew pointed out...thanks, Lew...I just am so disheartened that I can't be there.

lewmonst 0 #25 January 27, 2004 Michelle!!! I will be there with your spirit and I will hug everyone for you! Please stop swearing, it's so not like you. Your surgery is a good thing and you will be better because of it. Let me know if you are up for visitors after your surgery. Cajones and I can bring you your shirt if need be and dinner :) and hang out, or whatever you are up for. peace & love Lewhttp://www.exitshot.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
