Saturday I was HOPING,,, to make an announcement to the 50 or so who were going to gather... But,,, when about 400 showed up,,, I hid under the trees instead... :duck:
What was my announcement???
Well,,, "So Far",,,
We have been able to raise $2,500 for the Mexico Mission and I made the check out Saturday!!!
Also,,, we were able to give $500 to the local "Crisis Center" which helps many people in need...
And we were able to give $500 to the local Food Pantry as well!!!
So,,, so far we have raised over $3,500 and I am just guessing but still have about $1,000 of shirts/decals/coozies still to sell,,, and they will sell... :D
Also,,, we were a major reason that the local person Scott Ellis who is battling Cancer was able to raise over $1,500 for Scott in a raffle who,,, the Winners of the Raffle money donated the money back to Scott... About makes me cry every time I think of it... :o:
Kevin Baker/Oneshot donated the VERY COOL Machined out "Moonshine Lunch Run 2007" metal brake reserves that many (((like me))) are using attached to their bike as a very cool badge... We sold some of them,,, and we gave some away to the Long Distant Riders as well... Well,,, all we could find in the rain/snow storm back in April that is... :o: :bow1:
Brad Esler made and donated the VERY COOL "Moonshine Lunch Run 2007" stickers in both Silver and Black!!! We sold quit a few but still have a supply... You still can get 1 or 3,,, but also,,, just know,,, that they will be around next year with the 2007 cut off... ;):bow1:
Bob Schultz donated the Name Tags which we seem to have done a crappy job of getting them to the correct people... I THINK,,, what got this all screwed up was,,, MANY,,, thought if they signed in "On-Line",,, they did not need to sign in when they showed up and,,, many who were there,,, never got their name tags... Then,,, throw in "The Mother Of All" bad weather weekends and you have a major part of the reason we screwed up... But,,, Bob contacted me,,, asked to help,,, donated his time,,, effort,,, and $$$ so as we all could have a name tag... At worse case scenario,,, you can pick them up next year at the Moonshine Lunch Run if you missed out on yours this year... ;) :bow1:
DavidLSI/David Narens from over on the STN site donated VERY COOL signs that if it wouldn't have been snow/rain we would have placed on the way to Moonshine this year... But,,, come next year,,, they will be used!!!:D He also did the "Welcome" and Sign In Here" signs that were adorning the lobby at the Comfort Inn... Sure made it lots better and his help again was unasked for,,, just 109% given to help out something he thought was cool... :bow1:
Also,,, so MANY helped in any way they could!!! Some helped by leading groups to Moonshine countless times in the Cold/Rain/Snow/Cold that day...:bow1:
Some sold shirts... I mean,,, I am guessing very,,, Very,,, VERY,,, V E R Y,,, few RTE's have 2 Iron Butt Rally riders selling shirts and signing in people like we did this year with Curt Gran and Rebecca Vaughn!!!:bow1:
To Jody Lutker/Biddyman who donated 1,000's of hours and endless stupid e-mails from me to help out with the Moonshine-run.com site!!! He did so many things under the radar,,, it would be impossible to mention them all,,, and could not even think,,, of doing it without his help again!!!:bow1:
To all the others who helped all I can say is,,, THANKS!!!
What is so COOL,,, about all this is,,, Something that is doing so much good,,, came from something So Goofy... ;)
