TheBachelor 5 #1 January 22, 2004 I am load organizing at Elsinore on Saturday, and I want to make the following offer: For each jump a dz.commer makes with me on Saturday, I'll donate the cost of their jump ticket ($20) to the instructor equipment fund (up to $300 maximum.) So if 5 people make 3 jumps each, the fund gets $300 from my pocket. If a DZ.commer wants to skip a jump and donate their $20 instead, I'll match that too (again, up to my $300 limit). Be sure to identify yourself as a DZ.commer when you see me Saturday. I'll be there by 9:00. Blue Skies TerryThere are battered women? I've been eating 'em plain all of these years...

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #9 January 22, 2004 HelloTerry, You are just wonderful! I CAN go to Elsinore this Friday and jump because my surgery was moved yet again (I still have the remains of flu in my body) to next week. Anyway, my sinuses are now good enough to not pop my ears at altitude, so I will be flying... Also, I WILL make a $$$ donation (not much, but all I can afford right now), if you would like to match it. I will PM you with details! HUGE hugs to you, my friend, ROSA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

curtismelaniej 0 #13 January 22, 2004 Terry-- AWESOME, my friend, just awesome. Of course I'm out at Elsinore EVERY weekend, and this weekend is no different! I will be out spreading the love (and cleaning my team room, d'oh! ), and hopefully getting at least a few jumps in. I couldn't wait to get my donation in, though-- I mailed in my check on Monday! Love to all! __________________________________________________________ http://www.skydiveelsinore.com/teams/EXCEL/basic_camp.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michele 1 #15 January 23, 2004 I can't go, as I've already told Terry, but I am more than willing to withdraw $20 from my account and jump in spirit with you all....I'll handle that today or tomorrow (when I have time...). But you must post pictures. Deal?? Hey, Terry? Well done. Told ya it was a great idea. Hey, Cajones and Lew? What goes around comes around. You are all loved very much. People are just looking to spread that love, you know? Wish I could be there...

TheBachelor 5 #17 January 25, 2004 Well, the weather Saturday didn't cooperate much. I got to jump with RJRipcord a few times, and I got to see Cajones be a tandem passenger for a tandem check ride... CurtisMelanieJ was around, and so was Lew and of course, Shark. Did I miss anyone? Thanks to Rosa, Michele, and JTval for your pledges. As promised, I matched them. A few of you like Nightingale owe me a jump. Since the weather didn't cooperate, I gave Shark/Betsy a check for the full $300. It was nice to see a bunch of borrowed student equpment -- I noticed quite a few student rigs from Skydive Suffolk, so thanks to them and the others that provided loaners.

Shark 0 #18 January 25, 2004 QuoteIt looks like there'll be an official fundraising event on the weekend of February 7-8, so mark it on your calendars. Terry, Rosa, Michele, Jtval, et al. That was a very noble gesture. Your generosity will go a long way in assisting the staff in rebuilding their lives. I am still enthralled with the unselfish donations by everyone, whether it's offering personal gear, cash, or just a hug or a handshake.
