G'day,

I responded to Emery's message yesterday but realized today that it might not get read by people that has already read and responded
to "Dan Gregg's fight is over" so I decided to send it in under a new Subject.

Please take a few minutes and checkout the Bootheel Youth Camp's website as you will find they do good work for kids in the area.

http://www.bootheelyouthcamp.com/

While it doesn't cost much for the kids to go to the camp I'm sure there are some families that can't even afford the modicum they
charge so on behalf of Dan and Teri I'll say thanks for any and all contributions made.

Regards,
Rob M.

Emery,

Since I would have to mail a check from Australia to Laura I decided to see if I could contribute to the Bootheel Camp in memory of
Dan any other way. I did a bit of poking around and found a link to Bootheel's website where you can make a contribution via credit
card or Pay Pal.

http://www.bootheelyouthcamp.com/

I called Laura Tessons (Secretary / Treasurer) of Bootheel Youth Camp and had a chat with her. She noted that the website hadn't
been updated for 2015 yet and that the cabin campaign has been completed and they are now collecting funds to refurbish / update the
40 year old swimming pool at the camp. She also mentioned to me that she had had conversations with Teri and Dan in which they
wanted contributions to help kids that couldn't afford to go. Either way donations will help a worthy cause!

To contribute using a credit card or Pay Pal click on Donate under the contributions thermometer; that will open a page where you
can fill in your credit card details or log onto Pay Pal.

The last step in making a contribution via Pay Pal or a Credit Card is to review and confirm the transaction. On that page you will
find "Special Instructions." If you click on those words you will be able to enter the following; "Contribution made in memory of
Dan Gregg."

I hereby issue a challenge to all the GMCer's that knew and loved Dan to dig deep and show how much he meant to us! Actually I'm
sure any contribution will be gratefully received by the camp!

Regards,
Rob M.

Thanks for the idea. Will do. Dan was a friend and this is what he would
want.

I can't say for sure, but I thought I saw the donations at about $14k for the camp when this first came out. I think Dan would be glad he could count on his 6-wheeled friends to support something that was important to him.

G'day,

I checked with Laura and she has advised that $1400 has been raised in Dan's name from 24 contributors with checks still coming in.

Keep up the good work! Surprised

For those of you who do not use PayPal or wish to use a credit/debit card, Laura will accept and cash your personal check or even a money order.
Mailing address is on their web site.
Easy enough, even for me.
