Re: [Ql-Users] QLis30 pledge...
Good evening, I just sent 50% (£ 25.00) of my £50 pledge. Will follow up with the rest of the amount if necessary. Looking forward to meeting fellow QLers in Edinburgh. Kind regards, Petri On Tue, Oct 7, 2014 at 8:04 PM, Dave Park d...@sinclairql.com wrote: Hello all! The QL is 30 event is upon us and it is time for us to meet our pledge commitments. The good news is that the event was organized a lot more economically than was originally thought. For that reason, and allowing for the QUANTA match on donated funds, it is expected that we only need to raise HALF the amount we originally pledged. Here is a reminder of the pledges that were made: Sandy Electronics / Dave Park£150 Mark Martin £ 30 Petri Pellinen £ 50 Doug L £150 Jiří Doležal £ 50 Kenn Van Hauen £ 70 TOTAL£500 Quanta Match £500 Available: £1,000 I have forwarded £75 (50%) now, and if the 50% pledges fall short, I'll make an additional top up donation immediately after the event, when the donations have been tallied. Your donations need to be submitted to the following PayPal address: *treasu...@quanta.org.uk treasu...@quanta.org.uk* If anyone has an objection to using PayPal, you can email treasu...@quanta.org.uk and make an alternative arrangement.
