Ken..To augment the magazine publication, have you by chance contacted the magazine to post the tribute on their website? Also, have FChat sponsors ponied up? | ||

I have asked their friends to let me know the name or theme of a charity that was close to their hearts. To me that seems the way to go. | ||

The czech is in ze mail. On a slightly more serious note, i don't know if the powers that be at the Ring would permit a small plaque to be placed there. Perhaps that would be appropriate with the extra money, particularly if the families are well off. Also, i don't know what kind of memorial fund might be suitable to increase safety awareness there, so those going to the Ring the first time are encouraged to be extra careful. Just a couple thoughts. | ||

Update....$1,980 and still some more checks to come. Let's hit $2,500. I am going to be really pissed if we cant get $1 for every registered user on FChat. | ||

Ken, Is there a way that you can confirm the Paypal donations? I sent in one in via Paypal and while I received a receipt, there could still be some mixup. Thanks a lot. | ||

I agree Byron. In the future a scholarship fund would be a great idea though. | ||

With $1200 or so leftover, it may not be enough to start a scholarship fund, unless, of course, we all decide to donate regularly... I would just divide the remainder in 1/2 and donate to the charity of choice for each respective family. It's nice to see all of us pulling together like this. It re-confirms the fact that Ferrarichat truly is a community of generous and kind-hearted individuals. | ||

Can Tom or Bart or someone else maybe speak with the family and see how they wish the extra funds to be distributed. Best ideas would be a charity or scholarship fund. | ||

FYI...to reach our goal of $2,500 means that each registered user only needs to donate about $1.00. Surely everyone can spare a buck. | ||

Peters, Forza is being sold in good book stores and even sometimes in Jewel/Osco. For those Europeans who can't get it, I'll be happy to purchase it for them and ship them out. So far I have three 'orders'. | ||

Since FChat will be silent for an hour from 11am to noon CST, I think everyone should usse that time to log into PayPal and fill up our account | ||

Here is a challenge....Let's hit $2,500. Also, for those of you who have contact with the families, please let me know the best way to handle the money left over after the ad is paid for. | ||

This is great news! The families should be pleased with the amount of left over money to donate twoards them or their charities. It will be great to see an memorial page in Forza as well! This community really pulls together strong in the event of a crisis. | ||

Hi All!!!! This is going great. Right now we have $1,617.76 with a lot more checks in the mail. I just sent a bunch of info to Rich Stephens who has generously agreed to design the add. He will try to incorporate the list of all FChat users into the background. Hope it works because the more I think about it, the more I like that idea. For all who would still like to donate.... Thru PAYPAL... The name on the account is KENNETH THOMAS The e-mail on the account is [email protected] By CHECK, MONEY, ORDER.... Please make the check payable to Ken Thomas and send to: Ken Thomas Baker Botts, L.L.P. 2001 Ross Avenue, Suite 1200 Dallas, Texas 75201-2980 |
