Your $$$ Needed To Keep The Southern Region Open

[SCIN]

So far we've already received three $75.00 donations!

make that 4...

I see almost 30 people said yes in the poll...come on folks...30 times $75 would be $2250. let's put our money on the line..skip a few latte's, a few beers, one weekend roadtrip and support this purchase.

Quoted from this BBS in the Wolverine ad that accompanies the article: "What I really like & appreciate (...about the guidebook...) is the way I felt after putting it down. It made me feel proud to be a part of climbing in Red River Gorge."

Hey, I got quoted!?

That's it, I'm upping my donation!

It stuff like this that gives everyone a good feeling.

Regular updates to keep the subject in everyones minds is a good idea.
I remember purchasing a route a few Rocktoberfests ago and I believe it was discussed that after that year, the $ amount would be matched each year following by the purchaser.
There was never any follow-up and I completely forgot about it, until this discussion.
If I had a reminder, I would have been sending in the cash.

Let's make this work.

Thanks Bill, for posting, and Thanks Michelle and Ray for kickin' ass!

Thanks to Ray and Michelle as well as to the climbing community that supports us. To date I have given over $85,000 of which over $83,000 has gone to resolving our debt with the Murry family. I would hope that we can begin to rely on the community for the financial wherewithal to pay for the property. I'm getting tired of the extra shifts that paying for the property involves.

Thanks again to all
Bob

Wow. I can't even fathom that.

Thanks, Bob!
(You deserve more than that, though...)

[StephyG]

Yeah, thanks Bob and the rest of the coalition! You guys have given a ton to the climbing community. And thanks Michelle for easing the donation process!!! I mailed a check in today - didn't know about the paypal option till now.
Oh and thanks to everyone else - I'm loving the "we can" attitude flowing here, we kick a$$!

Johnny would be so proud of all of this, of everyone.

[Jeff]

You kick major boot Bob.
Many thanks.
