OK!
I'm in for a $125 donation.

Bike your heart out!


Was trying to convince Heart to go biking, but I think he's going to opt for a donation again this year again... which is fine by me. I hear he's going to break the record this year and donate over $100. Do I hear $101?
Don't forget that this donation is tax deductable, personal and for business.

I just want to say that yesterday (Sunday) morning I was out riding for the ride in Abbotsford and it went well. When I headed out I wasn't sure what it would turn out like as the rain has returned here to the Fraser Valley. There was some rain during the ride, but it wasn't too heavy and the weather improved and there was even some sunshine for the BBQ. I did the long route(70km) around the Abbotsford area.

I didn't have a team, but that would be something that would be great if we could get a group for next years ride for those in the Vancouver and Fraser Valley area.

All the best to those who are going to be riding in September.

It online donations between Script Kiddie and myself, we've raised $1010 online. I have another $100 offline donations and as far as I know Script Kiddie has at least $200. That brings our known total to...... $1310 with 4 days to go!!!! :eek:

Loafer and his sig other are riding and while they don't have any online donations they may have some offline ones. Any updates Loafer?

I still have to hit a few friends and family members.

Sorry I haven't been keeping the thread too up to date. When I got back from a weeks camping a couple of weeks ago, the MS Society web site has been acting very strange in terms of generating reports. Donations from this year have been mixed in with donations from last year and other problems.

Thanks to all those who donated who I haven't personally recognized yet. And thanks to those who are going to donate who haven't yet to get us to the $2000 mark and beyond!

I've got a special donation can complete with the ehMac graphic, the MS Bike Tour graphic, and a plea for WatRMUG members and guests to support Team ehMac with cash contributions at our meeting tomorrow night.

Our raffle and 50/50 draw should also add to the total.

I'll drop by on Friday with can and contents.

Hey Mayor!!

I've just pledged $100.00 in my own name but on behalf of our local Mac User Group, Macintosh Users East [MaUsE] here in the Oshawa, Ontario, area. On behalf of MaUsE, I'm challenging other Mac User Groups in Canada to match our pledge and help Mr. Mayor make it to Ehmac's goal.

Good luck!

Jim Foster

Looks like another Mac User Group has rose to the challenge!!!!!

WatRMUG members all chipped in and our pledging....... $101 !!!!!
:D :cool:



Way to go guys and a HUGE THANKS to everyone!




(I have to take a picture of the really cool donation can they made and post it here. Very cool!)

------------

It's hard to get an exact tally where we're at, but it looks like we are about $400 short of our goal of raising $2000 with just one day left until the bike tour.

Any other MUG's up to the challenge? Are there any Doctors in the house who can help?
:confused:


Every little bit counts!
