Again- simply - thank you!!! I'm actually trying to do a press release with an update - but, as a precursor - I think all of you who have supported us will be pleased... All of you have made a tremendous difference - and you have the thanks from those in Les Cayes - perhaps more than you may ever know..

As well - JoAnne... Your stepping up to do the Facebook page is a HUGE help!! Many - many - many thanks!!!!

As well - as a personal note - Hi Bob!! Actually, you, Sir - were one of the guys many years ago who had the vision and belief in what we were trying to do - and your support has never wavered.. As a personal note - my sincerest thanks for all you have done as well...!

John

I've said it before - and I'll keep saying it - thank you.....

As well - if you have contributed to this program and I have your e-mail - you should have gotten a "semi-personal" thank you..?? What's "semi-personal"??? Well - it was an e-mail sent out to over 200 folks who have contributed... I'm a little humbled by all of you... I always have been - and I always will be...

For that - it gives me great pleasure to make public our first "press release".. It was edited and authored by many of you - and requested by many more... If you would like - feel free to use it and distribute it as you will.. This success is not to my credit - but rather - to yours collectively....

In short - we have reached nearly 50% of our goal of $75,000 since last Friday afternoon.... And while we still have a long road ahead - we can - no rather, we will do this....

Here is that press release..... (<--- Click there if you want to read it...)...

My sincerest thanks,

Always,

John

About halfway there, my friend..

BTW - now you know how I feel when I try to reply to a post.. By the time I get to the answer - it was posted about three pages previously... By that measure - you are doing better than I am..!!



My best to you - and my thanks!!

John

Bruce - thank you.. As well - you mentioned something which needs to be noted... Adrian at Internet Brands has been simply wonderful at posting this across many of I.B.'s communities... He, and Internet Brands, deserves our collective thanks....

Adrian - our thanks.... Not so much from me - but, rather and more importantly - from the folks in Haiti...

Well done, Sir....

John

No problem with helping out on Facebook John. That will keep me busy until the next calendar project.

Speaking of Facebook.... to those of you who have become 'fans' of the page please feel free to post on the wall, so far no one has and we have 97 fans already in 12 hours. Post up!!!


PS:
Hey Adrian... I think you missed NAM (the MINI site).

I don't see it there, and I'm there too
