JohnMitchell 14 #26 August 4, 2010 Thanks, Pat, she got hold of me.Hey Peeps, V and I are road tripping down to Utah tomorrow, visit some old friends, make a few jumps and sell some tickets. If you PM me to buy tickets, it might be a few days before I get back. Thanks to all that are participating. I'm really pleased and excited about the raffle this year. If you can make it to Kapowsin on the 21st, we'll have long sleeve Leap for Lupus shirts, a great dinner, beer and a band to go with the raffle. And if it doesn't rain, we're gonna skydiver too.

millertime24 8 #36 August 9, 2010 Just bumping this one for a worthy cause. Got to jump with John and Vallinda today and am so happy I was able to jump with them. Comon guys. Get some tickets. You may win some really cool stuff or at least a pretty huge discount on gear while helping research along for one of our own. John, V, GREAT time jumping with you guys. You're always welcome back here whenever you can make it out. Maybe next time we can get dinner. Muff #5048 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vskydiver 0 #37 August 11, 2010 It was awesome to finally jump with you Millertime! Thanks for carrying my gear back after I landed. I'm still trying to recover from that high altitude. Hopefully we'll be able to jump with you again soon! I'll keep you posted when we're going to be back down there. We're going to try to go out to West Plains to jump this weekend. But unless I start feeling better I'll probably have to just watch. Because of course you won't be there to carry my stuff when I land! I'm glad you were able to get some tickets this time! Thanks for your support! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 14 #47 August 23, 2010 It really was a great time. After 3 years of rain, we jumped our tails off and danced all night. Thanks to Brett Martin and his rockin' band, the Two Minute Miracles for playing 'til 1:30 in the morning. I think everyone had a great time out on the floor. I know I did.Vskydiver didn't mention that the raffle had some great local prizes, too, from Sun Path shirts and hats, free dinners at many local restaurants, a stainless steel barbecue, reserve repacks, even a free custom RW suit from Valinda herself. So next year, if you can make it in person, we'd love to see you there. Thanks to everyone out there for helping us make this year's Leap for Lupus a huge success. And for all you out-of-town winners, I'll be mailing the prizes out to you this week. That means you, Billy Vance. John Mitchell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
