To this, I must disagree Andrew. Everyone, Andrew didn't "help" raise $10,000 for Operation Smile ( http://www.operationsmile.org ),
HE RAISED $10,000 for Operation Smile! He did it by his own generosity. Andrew was able to have a matching donation from The Bank of America donated at the Cirque Charity Auction Last year. The TOTAL for the event was $22,500.00!!!!!!!
$22,500.00 That was REMARKABLE!
To remind everyone, our total last year was divided up this way : $20,000.00 to Operation Smile to help fix little kids faces. PLEASE take a look (www.operationsmile.org).
And $2,500.00 to The National Multiple Sclerosis Society (www.msandyou.org ) in honor of our old friend Sheldon Brown.
Welcome to posting on the list Andrew and buona fortuna with the bikes; dayz sure is nice.
