Not really. This afternoon was the end of the seventh full day of this fundraiser and we are now approaching 40%. If you take into consideration the $18,000 plus in monthlies that will be posted later, we're really approaching 70%. Also, we normally receive about $9,000 to $10,000 in checks and most of them will be received and posted during the second or third week of the fundraiser (just posted the first batch today). By the end of this week we should be well over 90% and the fundraiser could be finished by the end of the week-end or perhaps on Monday. This means it will have taken two full weeks to complete, which is right in line with most of our previous fundraisers. There were very few fundraisers in the past that took much less than two weeks to reach the target.

Thanks Jim for clearing that up, Being that this is prime vacation period and you're not far off the mark, I would say this quarter's fundraising is going well.

Jim:
And I am mailing my check tomorrow. Not a big one but still you get one every time we have a fund raiser. I have been here long enough to know that what I pay is not nearly enough for the information and pleasure that I get from this site. I met you and your wonderful family in Fresno a couple of years ago and still remember it.

The very best to you and yours.
