I am not sure if this is appropriate or not -- if not, let me know and I'll delete the thread immediately.

One of our drivers suggested that we get some kind of fund together to donate to a charity that supports the families of fallen Iraq soldiers. I did a little searching and found a great candidate -- www.cfsrf.org I set up a special PayPal account using soldierfamilyfund@weatherwax.net as the contact. If you would like to donate but do not wish to do so via PayPal, PM me and I'll send you my mailing address.

Our goal is $5000 -- as of this morning we already have $600! Not a bad start. Anyway, I hope this is not bad to post. Like I said, if it gets bad PR, I'll delete it no problem.

Bonni, I think this is a great idea and I'm sure any help will be appreciated by the right organization. I don't know about others, but in this part of the country the people who are interested in helping have been doing so for many years, and in some cases in very significant ways. Therefore most are already closely involved with the agencies, foundations, etc. of their choice and continue to provide support through those channels, as my wife and I do.

T.E.A.M. Racing raises funds every year for a charity or two -- this year at our big Thanksgiving raffle (it's actually the Friday before Thanksgiving) we are sending funds to John D for his Rennwish program. A few years back we raised $6k for the NY Firefighter's Fund. I just figure we have all these drivers and instructors in one room (at our track events), why not try and do something good? I'm real glad to hear that you and your wife are so supportive as well. I respect you that much more now.

I'm in. And since this is the HWFMR forum where irreverence rules, I gotta say it was worth the money to make the music on that website stop! Thanks for giving us the opportunity Bonni. You're ok, no matter what VR says about you.

I never heard the music, Mike. I never turn on my sound unless I need to. All the stupid little Windows sounds are enough to drive me crazy. Oh, wait .. . I already am crazy. Well, you get my point.

VR? Talk about me? Surely it's all of his comments on how beautiful I am. Yeah, as if.

Every little bit (of respect) helps.....

Aww, come on, Bob . . . you know I respect you. If I didn't, would I bother giving you such a hard time?

Aw gee shucks......
