When we put the donation module on line we were not really sure what to expect as far as the amount of donations we would get if any at all. I told Chance I would lead by example and donate myself and planned on doing so first but Reptile beat me to that. My hope was that if I put my money where my mouth was then others would see that being and Admin does not exempt me from digging in and giving back.

I thought that since it was the weekend that likely there would not be much action with donations and then perhaps on Monday we would see some trickle in. I was so SORELY mistaken and COMPLETELY underestimated this community. I hope that all of you will forgive me of that underestimation.

In less than 24hrs, we met our first established goal for donations. 24 HOURS folks! Thats impressive. This community is not as large as others, doesnt have the vendor support that others do and the meets are not quite as large but each of you that have gave have demonstrated belief in this community and your commitment to its continuation.

I am VERY thankful to all of you that have given so far and know that I sincerely appreciate it. You guys and gals ROCK!! We may not have the numbers or the support that other communities do, but you have spoken equally as loud as they ever could. Thank each and every one of you.
