Help for Juvenile Diabetes and a Great Guy

Depending on our budget, what about the starting station and the finishing station. Or you just have to have an ENTIRE state.

Well, I really like Kim's idea, but if it turns out that in order to get the finish line (which is, ahem, in Jersey ) we would have to sponsor the whole state, I'm fine with that.

The start & finish would be tres nifty as well, if we could get those separate from the actual states. Or sponsor both states, or just one.

Basically, whatever the amount we drum up can finance, I'm fine with it.

Oui, oui. If the budget doesn't allow for our grand plans, starting and finishing stations would be cool.

I'm in. not for much as I like, but I've got to meet my budget.

Im in!! I dont really have much of a clue about RAAM but it sounds like a jolly good cause.

I've got commitments for just over $600 (without the extra some of you said "if necessary"), but the start/finish stations were already claimed and the web site in the process of being updated. The state of AZ is now claimed also.

Next choices? We could get the remaining stations in Khalifonee-a and Joisey.

Brenda says she flexible and will work with us. Whatcha think?

How about one in each state? Or every other?

Really don't care. Just want to support Bernie.

What V. said - whatever works with the funds we have.

Some stations in CA and NJ would be fine, or maybe CA, NJ, and some in-between?

Since the start and end stations were already claimed, I decided to go with the theme of welcoming the team to each state as they ticked them off the list. We have:

Collins, MO
Greenville, IL
Putnamville, IN
Troy, OH
Parkersburg, WV
(skipped MD because taken)
Rouzerville, PA
McKee, NJ

I felt comfortable committing to $700 and can get more stations if more people participate.

The team starts on June 12th and expects to take 6 days. The team will call a different person for each station so I’ll send out an email. There are non-TE people participating so I want them to have an equal opportunity to get a call.

This'll be fun. You folks that take calls need to take notes because yellow and I will be without phone coverage as of the 16th when the team will hit go through stations.

Excellent SK. I really like the first station per (available) state idea.
