Just in case there is any confusion: If you were associated with SOSUS/IUSS for 12 years - then your challenge donation would be $12.00. Thanks again, Ed
Excellent idea. I'm in. FYI all, in 2009 we raised approximately $5,000.00 in donations, mostly from association members. We used that money to pay for tickets for 10 Sailors (including the color guard); programs; mementos; happy hour food; and to keep the cost of tickets at $50.00 per person (same as the 45th and 50th!).
I like it !! (you "OLD TIMERS" come up with amazing ideas !!)
Count me in for $30 ($23 for active IUSS duty, 3 years IUSS support @ TRW, and a few extra just for "Sh.... and G.......".)
I must be "losing it" !!! After reading your Challenge to All post, and the fact that you noted it was for our 60th reunion - my reply said that I was looking forward to seeing you at the 55th - which, of course, I already had !!
Thanks Ed for proprosing this great idea to help fund the 60th (or is it the 55th?) I really know, just acting stupid !) !!
And Jim, (or whoever else may have come up with the idea of a "DONATION BUTTON") - nothing short of brilliant ! That way, we can contribute, anytime, with ease.
Great thinkers we have (and had) in our "system" !
Cheers!! Hope to see lots of familiar (I was going to say old - then, I thought I better choose my words more wisely)
