My friend strejea,

Thank you for doing that for our brother, Dono!! When you decide to visit America, by the time you get to California, you'll have met many of the venture riders!! You and I have something in common, I'm originally from Vienna, Austria. Came to America after the war in 1947.

Take care my Friend,

[Eck]

PP went out today.

Now how to get that trailer to Massachusetts...

[Trader]

I told Dano that when Don wrote he "hit a DEAR" I had visions of a sweet little old granny getting wiped out by the bike!

 

So, who's going to volunteer to be part of the relay for the the trailer to get it to Ontario when I win it?

[DragonRider]

Will be sending money for raffle tickets on Friday, 3/9/12. Anything to help Dano, don't believe we ever met, but he is family. Also praying for a full recovery.

 

As most of you know, Dano hit a dear on his RSV about 3 months ago and spent a good a long while in the hospital. He is home now and doing outpatient rehab but it is going to be at least a few more months before he is able to think about working again. Dano is self employed so no work means no money. Those of you who have been fortunate enough to meet him and Rose know that they are just great people. Dano is one that is always there when anybody needs his help but now he could use our help.

 

Jeff and Margaret kindly donated the trailer that they bought and loaned Aussie Annie and Quickstep to use during their travels in the USA last summer. We are going to raffle this trailer off with all proceeds going to Dano. If you have no interest in the trailer and but with to donate to the fundraiser anyway, that would be great also. The trailer is a 1994 Cycle Mate. It had new tires installed last summer and the wheel bearings were all repacked at the same time. Now please be aware that this trailer is presently being stored at a members house in Washington State. Getting it home will basically be the winners responsibility but I know that as a group,, we can do a trailer relay and help get it to the winner.

 

Rather than all the funds going through me or somebody else, I think the easiest way to do this will be to have you send your donations directly to Dano. The tickets will be $10.00 each or 3 for $25.00. If you use PayPal, PLEASE do NOT mention anything about a raffles as PayPal does NOT allow their services to be used for raffles. When you sent him the money, click on the "personal" tab and mark it as a "gift". That way there will be no PayPal fees held out of the donations.

 

Now this will be an extra step and a bit of an inconvenience for you but if you are actually sending a donation and want to be included in the raffle, you need to send me a private message and let me know that you have sent Dano the donation and how much it was so that I will know how many tickets to be added to the raffle in your name. I will not be sending out ticket stubs or anything like that. At the conclusion of the raffles, I will use a random number generator to choose the winner.

 

So let the fun begin. I hope that many of you will help out. If you can't send $10.00 for a raffle ticket, then $1.00, $5.00...whatever size donation will still be appreciated. It all adds up.

 

Here is the info for Dano. You can use this email address to send funds via PayPal. Just got to paypal.com, login, click send money, enter Dano's email address, click on the tab that says personal, mark it as a gift and send. If you don't use PayPal, you can send a check, money order, whatever to this address.

 

Dano's PayPal email address is:

danob11@comcast.net

 

His home address is:

Dan Obert 8699 W 800 N Indianapolis, Indiana 46259-9402

I send Don a letter that if I win it I want to donate it to the Int Rally in NY to raffled again & forward the proceeds to Dano. So don't be gettin a group together to get it delivered to Ontario. Just kidding. Hope everybody feels as good as I do about this great group..!!!

[loosebiker]

Donation sent. Hope this helps.

[Luvdaleather]

We sent some from Ken (Meek and Jones Pump Co) and myself (Ace High Leathers). We're both in business for ourselves and boy do we understand! We wish him the very best!

Blessings from California!

[Chaharly]

Thank you. Folks, the donations are starting to tickle in. Thank you very much. I don't know how long I will keep the raffle open. I'm thinking a week or two. We'll just see how it goes. When it looks like everybody is about done, I'll announce that it is coming to an end and a date for the drawing.

 

Please send an email out before you do as I cannot afford it at this moment

[KICKSHOT]

Hope you make a full recovery dano. I have never met you but we have some thing in common. I know too well how it feels to hit a deer on a motorcycle. I'm as good as new thaks to a great surgeon. Sent a paypal your way.

Would like to send check for raffel to Dan in the amount of $50.00. Haven't done this before, let me know if there is anything else I need to do. Thanks, MIDNIT.

[Freebird]

Not really. Just send the check to him at the address listed and then send me a PM that you sent it and I'll put you down for 6 chances.

[Neshobanakni]

Sent twenty-five skins. I hope everybody else does, too.

[Neshobanakni]

Hey there:

 

Dano is a great guy and has been part of this family for a long time. Always willing to help and with a smile to boot. I know that this is most likely embarrasing for him but being self employed has it's downside when something goes wrong. I know that if something like this happened to me I'd be in big trouble as well.

Hope everyone is considering this... even small amounts add up if enough folks get on board..

Good Luck Dano and God Bless You..

 

God Bless all those that care enough to help out..
