Thank you, Bill. You are correct.  We made it and we're well on our way to covering a second year.

Hi Rocky,

Perhaps I miss read the earlier request, I thought you were waiting for 
enough commitments to reach the goal and then let us know.
Based on this message I guessed we made it so I sent my #25

Thank you so much Charlotte.  I think we will have enough to cover this year 
and maybe next year as well. That said, more is better.  :)

I donated 100.00 through the paypal link.  I would be happy to pledge
$10.00 per
month if you prefer to set it up like that.
