pBASEtobe 0 #1 October 7, 2005 Nick DG said he couldn’t make Bridge Day this year because of tight funds due to his illness this year. Treejumps mentioned chipping in and buying a plane ticket for him. If 30 people chipped in $20 we could buy him a plane ticket to Bridge Day. So if you’re willing to pitch in $20 (or any amount) add your name to the list below and hopefully we can make it happen. Tom, maybe you could sticky this for a week?
