We're a sponsor - Let's do this!
See the banner up near the top of the page? We're going to help send a young athlete to Europe to compete!
Melodie is the daughter of a good friend of mine. She is a competitive swimmer, and she has the opportunity to compete this summer in Austria through the "People to People" organization. Together with Colonial Fleets (and 3d Gladiators, Dirk Benedict Central, and LauretteSpang.com), I have the distinct honor and pleasure of being a sponsor for her in this endeavor.
Every penny donated will go for her expenses for this once-in-a-lifetime trip.
To learn more, see a few photos of Melodie competing, and to contribute, click on the banner or just go here:
Melodie's Page
Or - ask me!
Let's make it happen.
I am
Dawg

And since that banner is for a good and just cause, it won't be censored by my ad-blocker.

Re: We're a sponsor - Let's do this!
Well, it's been a week. I've gotten some heart-warming emails and a couple of snarky ones, and not a whole lot of activity on the contribution side.
I know times are tough; this is a recurring theme in the emails I've received. And I am grateful to those people who have written to say they will contribute as soon as they can.
So how about the rest of us? Can't we come up with 5 or 10 dollars to help make a dream come true?
Go here: Melodie's Page and contribute through PayPal - or contact me and we'll see what we can work out.
Thanks.
I am
Dawg

Re: We're a sponsor - Let's do this!
To all: Maybe you yourself cannot help out, but maybe you know someone that can: Friends, co-workers, employer, corporations, etc.
At least pass the word around

Re: We're a sponsor - Let's do this!
Hey, everybody!
First, let me thank everyone who has contributed so far to Melodie's trip. I am so happy for the support that's been shown so far, but we've still got a long way to go.
I know not everyone likes using PayPal for whatever reason. So we've put into place a snail-mail option for you. You can send a check to Melodie at the following address:
Melodie Lawrence
c/o John Pickard
11575 SW Pacific Hwy, PMB #174
Tigard, OR 97223
So tell your friends and family and that one guy on the street corner waiting for the bus you see every morning.
Again, thanks to everyone!
I am
Dawg

Re: We're a sponsor - Let's do this!
OK, guys - the PMB echoes when I check it...
Let's not forget that, even in these troubled times, we have it within our power to help realize a dream. It won't take much individually, but together we can send Melodie to Austria this summer.
The link to her page is at the top of this page. You can pay by PayPal, or by mailing a check/money order to:
Melodie Lawrence
c/o John Pickard
11575 SW Pacific Hwy, PMB #174
Tigard, OR 97223
We can do this, together. And together we can cheer her on. Tell all your friends.
I am
Dawg

Re: We're a sponsor - Let's do this!
Hi, everyone!
Here in the U.S. we’re celebrating Memorial Day, where we honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms and opportunities; I hope you’re all flying flags this weekend! We’re getting together with family and friends, having cookouts – hot dogs, hamburgers, or steaks on the grill – maybe for the first time this year…. It’s the unofficial beginning of summer with longer days, baseball games, the municipal pools opening for the season….
And we still need your help to send Melodie Lawrence to Austria this summer. The deadline is fast approaching – the money needs to be in by the end of June – and we’ve still got a long way to go.
This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Melodie to represent her country and compete with other student athletes from around the world; an educational experience second to none, and a chance to meet her peers from other nations.
This is a Big Deal. But it’s not free, and if we can’t collectively raise enough money – $6,000 – she won’t be able to go at all. So we still need your help.
Please send a few dollars and then pass on the link and address to your friends and family who enjoy swimming – or competition of any sort – and ask them to take a look and contribute. Post the link at other sites you frequent.
In these uncertain times, we’re not at all confident what tomorrow may bring. But we know we can help make Melodie’s tomorrow something truly special and we should feel good about our role in that.
The PayPal link is on her page:
http://www.3dgladiators.com/mdl/
Or you can send a check to her via snail-mail here:
Melodie Lawrence
c/o John Pickard
11575 SW Pacific Hwy, PMB #174
Tigard, OR 97223
Thank you!
I am
Dawg

Re: We're a sponsor - Let's do this!
Melodie left from Reno on Sunday the 5th, on schedule. She arrived in Vienna on schedule as well. A little hiccup in the hotel they were staying at, but she's settled in. She enjoyed her first plane ride!

Re: We're a sponsor - Let's do this!
oh she made it ... wonderful. I would have liked to give more money. But a year and a half out of work is making life difficult.
well I hope she accomplishes what she want but also enjoy the experience of travel and seen new/old countries. . While I have never been to Vienna I have heard it a great country to see and it old towns fascinating.
Hope see takes lots of pictures.
all the best
Ger
