I attached the link on my Facebook page for all my friends to see and hopefully make a donation. I will try and make a donation after the bills are paid at the end of the month.

Done mine. Well worth contributing to, a wealth of information too valuable to let go. Thank you for taking it on James.
Best regards, Steve.

I dont think so, but you can make a donation via paypal, and I will get it there.  I have received checks in the mail from a couple folks also.  It will all go to the same place.  Thank you guys who have donated and got us this far.  We were at 750 this morning.

James,

I just made a donation to the GoFundMe account, so that should help some. Nice to see that we are almost their. I read your page in regards to merging that valuable info into our site. That is a great plan for sure.

Happy Holidays to you all.

Actually, I will put it toward the amount we needed.  Apparently, GoFundMe takes fees out when you withdraw, so I still needed almost 250 more, which I received in checks after I closed the GFM site.  Its all good.  As soon as I get some artwork for our updated club logo integrating it with the 1957ford.com logo, I will post here.  It should be pretty attractive, having a very talented professional handle the redesign for us.

would it be difficult for us to guess who that talented professional is ?

Well, I will say that his office is in Palookaville

W O W !  :canada: 8)

can I preorder 10 new stickers James ? :003:


( not that the old logo is a bad design, still have another one left going on the Country sedan)

Post by: JPotter57 on 2016-12-01 09:54
As soon as new logo is done and approved, I will order 250 new stickers.  There was enough other money left after paying fees etc, to put toward other club stuff.  I figure free stickers for all of our donors and members was one way to start thanking everyone.  I believe everyone will be quite happy with what we come up with.

That's awesome James, but I wouldn't mind buying them eithrr.  I guess I will just have to send you some $$ for the stickers anyway

Post by: JPotter57 on 2016-12-04 13:26
Wait until I get the new logo down, then I will order stickers.  I dont have any, even the old ones right now.  I had saved three for my ride a while back, but ended up giving them to someone else.  I hope to have some in a few weeks.

What the heck? You mean those 6 stickers I got several years back are now collector items? LOL I still have four of them available if you ever need them James, one went on the car and one on the toolbox. I can't wait to see the new ones!
