Howdy Rob,

Well, we could drop the amount all together from the tag line.

I think it's important to retain the legal name of the organization
collecting the funds, but after that - if you want to try a re-write, or
just a re-format, of it, in it's entirety nothing stopping you from
doing so - as I said, I don't own this. I would like to take something
similar to this to the show on Friday next - if the form stays so that I
can make two flyers per page, and you keep the spacing with the Logo
(.2" top/bottom is the current setting, the graphic has none) go for it
- if it is a re-write please put it on the wiki as a different named
file and drop an email here. The text is going to be on the web site, as
it is now on the paper - so if we pulled back some of the 'German'
foundation wording to just 'foundation' it wouldn't hurt.

Everyone benefits - and looking at the start, I again will say that I
think 50,000 is conservative, I bet it breaks well before the end of
March. (I'm would bet, assuming someone started a board...oh I don't
know second Tuesday of March, what ever date that is..if there was a
pool going, that is...which there isn't, I assure you.)

That would be great - thanks.
