[RCSE] Charity raffle for Steve Lange...I'm in for $200, Who's Matching?

[GordySoar]

I'm trying to figure out how this applies to RC Soaring as a topic, , I know its not "bring JoJo to the Nats, but still a pretty good cause"   So step up and help and feel free to flame me, This week I flew Visalia, Parker, stared at Torey Pine's slope and flew a contest with some of the best guys out here in California at the Eldorado Park site and I finished up the day with some incredible BBQ Beef Ribs from Luciles....you're gonna have to work pretty hard to dampen my smile :-)   Gordy   Steve Lange is a huge supporter of Michael Richter (creator of the Weasel, miniWeasel, and Alula) and slope soaring in general, as well as being a contributor to RC Soaring Digest, rcgroups.com, and the flyweasel Yahoo group. His eight month old son, José Luis, suffered a stroke on September 23rd. José Luis is recovering rapidly, but the medical and therapy expenses which are not covered by insurance will likely be several thousand dollars. To try to pay off some these costs, Steve has set up a raffle. All of the proceeds from this raffle will be put toward medical expenses. <http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=424622> The raffle is to be held on the 15th of this month, just one week from now, so we will not be able to get anything into RCSD until it's too late. The prizes vary from slope kits to electrics to radio equipment to a hotel stay in Santa Barbara California. Included in the list are the Bluto 48 and Bluto 56 prototypes from North County Flying Machines, and an unbuilt MAD Highlander. This will be a virtual raffle, and free shipping within the U.S. has already been arranged for nearly all of the items. Ticket prices vary from $1.50 for one to $200 for 300. Please pass this message on to your soaring friends. Thanks!
