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:
*[email protected]
<[email protected]>*
If anyone has an objection to using PayPal, you can email
[email protected] and make an alternative arrangement.
Thank you everyone for pledging!
Dave
