Okay... I will officially end the collections for the Easton Peters Fund on Friday at Midnight (EST).

I'm counting on you guys and gals.

Easton is a miracle and showing promise and hope of recovering. In addition to continuing to pray and send 914club vibes up his way, donate a little cash.

http://www.my914-6.com/easton.htm

Heck... Even $9.14 or $19.14 helps.

Update:

We've had over 43 people contribute (plus three promised checks) in amounts ranging from $5.00 to $500.00

Total is close to $3 thousand right now. I'm very close to my goal. I really need like $250 more to be there. Come on... have one less pitcher of beer this weekend.

I accept Paypal, cash, or check. See the link for details on my address. If you send a check, PM me and let me know how much to accept.

Best regards... and THANK YOU!

Come on everybody! If you haven't donated yet, just click on the link in the first post and take a look at that smile!


Everytime I read about Easton and his family's situation, I have to hug my 8 year old daughter. She thinks I've gone crazy!

Little Cash sent, Lots of Love sent.

My Paypal is messed up once more. My kids put together whats left over from thier weekly alotment of my spare money and want me to send it to you so the check will be in the mail. One other thought do you want to fly up and hand deliver the donations to him? I have a pass around here some place its on Southwest. It may take a while to get up to Seatle thats as close as I can get you on us.

Good friends, good times, fun cars... and really compassionate people.

Regards,

No Paypal? Send me a check?

Mail a check made to ME and I will cover you for it and include your amount in the big check I mail on Monday.

Just send me a PM or e-mail with the amount you pledge to send.

Was hoping to wait until I could toss in a bigger chunk, but I suppose nothing says we CAN'T do this again later.

Here's the Dealio....

I am waiting on pledged checks from...

Sparetimeboys
Mrs. K
Restore2seater
Turtlegirl
Goat Boy ..err Miles

My family has covered the Paypal fees (what they deducted from each donation) plus we've thrown in a few hundred $$ on top of that.

According to my calculations, we have raised...

drum roll please...












$3904.92

(provided those aforementioned 914clubbers send me a check).


So... shall I say it?

It would be nice to write the Peters family a check for $4000.00.

(hint hint!)

Another one sent and as always, more good thoughts!!!

Posted by: Eric_Shea Jun 10 2005, 06:28 PM

I've already donated but,

Drum Roll Please...


















I'll donate the proceeds from the next set of rear calipers sold.

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=ST&f=4&t=23490 and and hit the "Buy Now" button and another $225.00 will go to the fund (I'll cover the PayPal fees on this end as well). So... need brakes? Been waiting for the right time? Want to help out a great cause? Now's the time! I'll post here the minute I get the bid.

Posted by: Qarl Jun 10 2005, 06:34 PM

ummm.... speachless

Posted by: Qarl Jun 10 2005, 06:39 PM

Thanks Grimstead.

I'm not asking for those that contributed to contribute more... just a last call for those that can help to make a contribution.

We have had 80+ contributors to this fund drive.

I have tried to thank each and everyone of you with a brief reply to you contributions.

For those that just weren't able to contribute (for whatever reasons), that's perfectly fine. We understand that too. Just your positive vibes and prayers are contribution enough.

Steve's wife Sherida asked how they could thank us all. I generously offered to have her pose nude for the next 914club calendar. (just kidding).

Steve and Sher are wearing down... I've told them not to give up hope, but I fear they are.

They truly are amazed at the showing of support from people on 914club.

Regards and thanks to all.

No worries Qarl. I just wish there was something more that we could do.

My Son turnned 3 Today and I can not imagine going through what you or the Peters' have & are going through...

PS, Eric you Rock! Wish I needed another set from you.

Posted by: Eric_Shea Jun 10 2005, 07:07 PM

Thanks Bill but it's things like this that help me understand that my problems don't amount to a hill of beans.

Someone needs some new brakes... even if you don't, they make a nice paperweight!

Come on, "ALL PROCEEDS DONATED"

Posted by: Eric_Shea Jun 10 2005, 07:21 PM

OK Gang...

I've gotta run. If you decide to buy the brakes, please post it here. I'll forward the fund to Karl when I get back.

Please... someone take me up on this.

One more Hero gang!

Greg Robbins comes through with a caliper order. I'm donating $100.00 from that to the Easton fund... Greg donates another $100.00!!

Way to go Greg!

A couple of people have e-mailed me about continuing to give to help the Peters family with burial expenses. How can I say no to helping a member of our 914 community.

http://www.my914-6.com/easton.htm

Instructions on the site if you want to send a check.

Participation is voluntary... and if you aren't able to help... that's okay. Just being here for members in need who need a place to hang out is enough!
