    Top Hat Fundraising

    First - yowza kids - we are at $4,000!

    I'm a little concerned, I've sent in some checks that aren't reflected on my account. I've raised almost $500, but my account only shows $160. Do you think it'll show up by Saturday?

    Probably, you've made the minimum, so they can't kick you out of the ride.

    Way to go, Snap! Yowza!

    When did you send in your checks? The one and only check I sent took at least a week to show up on my pledge report. I'm not sure if it is taking that long for the MS Society to log the pledges or if they wait until the checks clear. Alison is very responsive. You may want to drop her an email and ask how long it should take.

    Gosh, I'm am SO PROUD to call all you girls my friends. Here I go, better find some kleenex. Veronica did it to me yesterday. Better just keep the box with me.

    Snap, are any of your pledges on-line? I like reading the nice comments everyone's friends make -- though someone called Lisa "Lizardbreath."

    Congrats Amici Veloci! What at team!!!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    I like checking the team page every once in a while to see how much the total has climbed. And every time the total approaches or passes the goal, the goal jumps up again. I'm really proud to be part of this group!!

    But I'm thinking about breaking in to a satelite class of Team Amici Veloci. How about Team Amici Lenti.

    oh V, that's just ruuuuuuuude

    In case anyone is keeping track, I raised our pledge goal to a very very cool 5 Grand.

    Our Spiritual Leader did some ciphering and she thinks it's within the realm. I have a couple of checks that I need to bring with me on Saturday & evidently enough people reported back on their fundraising status that she gave me the directive, and far be it from me to turn her down
    (trans: I don't dodge snotrockets all that well)

    Hey - it's for a good cause.

    They don't need milk after all.

    My snotrockets are more akin to Spazz's, more worn than airborne. You're safe. I only suggested you raise the number to that because I figured you were tired of the constant emails telling you, err asking you, to raise it and our friends, cow-workers and loved ones are responding to our pleas! Thank you EVERYONE!
