I will start off this day with another TPMers Cafe Challenge . This time it is for a donation of $10.00 Ten bucks and I will match it. One time. Today.
Oh, and anyone else can do the same: Challenge and the match.
Just think, with five Donations of ten bucks Matched by five Challengers, we'd rawk!

Thanks LL, I feel bad that I didn't have better numbers going into fund raising yesterday. Everyone was so great!!
But I didn't plan for which hotels were going to work in advance or the tax rate, I just estimated everything... sorry I didn't get that down better folks.

Synch, don't feel bad. We are doing this so quickly it has to be impossible to have every minute detail covered. You are doing a wonderful thing.

Congratulations, everyone!
Yet another amazing example of what TPM minds and hearts can do when motivated and organized.
Thank you: Synchronicity, LisB, GregorZap, DickDay (love the book!) and Bwak for your diligence and determination. And a further tip of the hat to leftyloosey, for adding your considerable voice to the fray.
A deep bow and humble appreciation to Gumbun and Ripper McCord, who will carry the weight of our voices strongly, clearly and with the might of right. Most of us have done our part while sitting on our sofas. You will be moving ... and screaming.
It's not over, it's only just begun. But it's one hell of a beginning. Be proud.

I heard yesterday that a foreign architect we're working with might visit Thursday or Friday. The timing depends on someone getting a visa, so we'll see what happens. I hope I can make it.

So proud of everyone who worked so hard to make this rally trip work. What a group and I don't know why anyone would be surprised this went so well. Good friends and caring people work together and things happen. Glad to consider you all my pals and good luck to our fellow travelers and rally attendees.

Gumbun and Ripper: thank you for your willingness to represent us. But pace yourselves, eh? So easy to go into passion and adreniline-fueled overdrive. Take care.
