Friends, When Murray Charters and I were up nights years ago working on his website, the image of the Inukshuk came up as a representation of Murray's efforts and the efforts of so many people with Parkinsons before him... someone who was trying to inform others and in doing so was trying to show the way over the difficult path they each would be taking. Please click on, go to his website, and remember .... http://www.geocities.com/murraycharters/ What a wonderful contribution he made. The logo Murray chose was created and designed by a friend of ours, Carole Serotzke. Murray lived in Vancouver, I live in Virginia, and Carole lives in Illinois ... a true internet friendship blossomed. Carole worked tirelessly to give Murray that beautiful round logo you see.. Now Carole is reaching out and asking friends for support for another cause she is supporting... *Thanking our Troups* for what they are doing for us. Please read and decide if you'd like to give Carole some support now, please do so ASAP. Please feel free to forward to friends. Happy Forth of July! Thank you, Gail Vass [log in to unmask] PS. The flyer she refers to below reads "To Honor a Soldier: Support a Renegade" Her Award Winning Horseback Drill Team has been invited to perform a percision equestrian rodeo show at "Fort Drum in Watertown, New York for the soldiers and their families in appreciation of the sacrifices they have all made to ensure our freedom". Four soldiers from this fort recently lost their lives defending American Values. [Because of the attachment limitations of some I did not attach the flyer.] See http://www.midwestrenegades.com/FortDrum.htm Her Troup must raise the $7000 dollars need to get all 36 horses, their costumes and gear and all 36 riders from Illinois to New York to entertain the troups and their families ========================================== EMAIL I received from Carole, the "Stormrider" Hello Everyone: Attached is a flyer to help support a Midwest Renegades Horse and Rider so we can get to New York for our special drill team performance in honor of the Fort Drum Calvalry troops for their Military Appreciation Day. It will cost us approximately $7,000.00 to get there with all of our horses, team, tack, and equipment. So far we have $4,000.00 saved up. We leave on Thursday, July 30, 2009, for our performance on Saturday, August 1st. Please read the attachment and consider supporting one of the horses and riders See our Team webpage http://www.midwestrenegades.com/Teams.htm to select your favorite horse/rider (hopefully you will consider Toi/Carole or Melony/Marcia. All we ask is a donation of $10.00 per horse/rider team with your check made out to Midwest Renegades. Put the horse and rider name that you wish to support in the lower left corner of your check so we know which horse and rider you wish to support. We need your support and it is for a really good cause.
