If the payment is made electronically I can tell so let me know when they say they've paid. I have access to the account as I set it up, etc. and am helping those folks administer it. Yes, I have about 30 case stickers left. Need to get on the stick and order some more. Contact me off-board about this as I don't want everyone asking for them right now because they're just not in stock. They go fast.
Another $10 in the pot.
C'mon everybody got on the band wagon and donate. Think about all the resources this site has given us, and give a little in return.
Scott,
Got the Garcia/Grisman in the mail last night. Most painless $50 I've ever donated to anything. Since I realized I won't have the time off to go to the symposium making a donation so someone else could go seemed like the right thing to do.
And for those wondering about the new Garcia/Grisman cd, get it when it comes out! It's everything you would want from these two. I listened to it three times last night and am still smiling.

Back to the top we go... just added $10 to the cause.

I have 7 cds listed in the classifieds for $30, check to be made out to the symposium but no takers. Anyone interested?...Gary S
I'm in for $50. Please inform us of the lucky scholarship winners. What an honor to learn from the very best....

Bill, if you want one of those free subscriptions to Mandolin Magazine shoot me your address off-list to this email address. I can't believe no one has taken us up on this offer.Originally Posted by (WSE @ Feb. 20 2004, 15:32)
Come on folks. This stuff doesn't magically happen by you going out to the front page of the Cafe to see the new total.
I put in $100 but I already subscribe. Hey, all you owners of a Master Model, Dude, Nugget, Monteleone, Brentrup, Smart, Heiden, etc., if you can afford one of those, you should be able to afford a sizeable donation for this worthy cause.

I'm in for $50 & a subscription. #Looks like there are 3 left. #Come on guys & gals!
My only mando is an MK, so I know all you proud owners of POS Pac Rim wannabe Gibson mandolins can afford a donation -- you didn't spend much on your mando!
Two of the original four subscriptions remaining. If those both go I promise to stop yapping out here. How about that for an incentive?
OK, I just kicked it by $50 but talk about painful. I don't eBay, nor do I PayPal (but I guess I do now).
How do I claim my subscription?
One left. I'm reaching for the duct tape. Honest.
Hey Scott...don't know if this has been addressed already but is there anyway of telling our community about the kids who will benefit by going? Any bio or photo's of the kids? I'd think if we could put a face/name or a story with our donations more folks would be moved to chip in.
Those are yet to be chosen by the committee which I understand to be David Grisman, Mike Marshall, Chris Thile and Steven Ruffo.
Don't have much funds!
I'll send 15.00 in the mail tomorrow!....
It is a good cause!

Better late than never... I keep forgetting (and I even put up the link on the page...) Baaaad webmaster LOL
$20 for now.
As far as who'll be getting them... the more money raised, the more scholarships will be availble... when it's all said & done I'll ask Ruffo about posting the info on the recipients.
and *up up up with the thread!*
There is one remaining free one-year subscription to Mandolin Magazine with any donation of $50 or more. That's a $25.00 subscription to an ultra-cool magazine. Sure like to see that in the pot before I take off for Wintergrass in the morning.
And a big thanks to everyone for their support to date--but it's not too late! I have one more big surprise on this whole fund-raiser but will wait until next week to announce that.
scott, i just made a $50 donation via paypal. #if the last subscription to the mag is available i'll take it.
i put in $25 early on as i just had my first cafe classified ad sale. #thank you, sam!
so many mandolins, so little time.
Well it looks like Scott's/our goal of $2500.00 will be reached soon! I missed my latte one day last week and didn't get much done at work but no one noticed but me...BTW Im self-employed and the boss just said take a extra day or two off this week and have fun...Wintergrass here I come! All for a simple donation to a worthy cause.
Look up (to see whats comin down)
Thank you, Mandobar. Subscription on it's way. Well, as promised, you've heard the last of me regarding the Scholarship Fund here on the board so my pot and drum banging will cease from here on out, although the front page of the Cafe may still be fair game. Thanks again for your support and watch next week for another little event that's part of this.
Good grief...I just clicked on the address here on this thread, and went through a bunch of rigamarole and I don't think that my message was sent to you, Scott. I simply asked for the address of where I could send a donation... Thanks...

Thanks for your support, everyone. Ken Cartwright, the biggest heart in the mandolin world has donated a Breedlove mandolin that's going to be one of the last events of this mini-fundraiser (at least what we're doing) and we'll be offering it for sale on the classifieds here in the near future. 100% of the proceeds go to the scholarship fund.
Will there be a big PHOTO-OP with a smiling Scott T holding the 2' x 5' check facsimile and Chris, Mike and Dave happily accepting same check? With the legions of poor, unwashed, mando-genius recipients?
Scott, who is running your PR office these days?
And did you ever get all those Loar's out of the trunk of the rental car before you turned it back in at SEATAC?
Thank you, Scott.
I will contribute to the cause...
I had a talk with my friend tonight. We looked at each other in astonishment when trying to discribe music and what it does...Touches and moves a person in an extraordinary way...Universal language...all that stuff...Brain connections... Back to the caveman, the whales singing...blah, blah, blah...
What is my point, here? Oh yeah... Just that I think it is important to offer the musical opportunity to kids and/or...whoever... Mostly the kids. They are the future...
THEREFORE...I encourage all you kindly folks to contribute to this awesome opportunity for some kid to attend the mandolin symposiam.
Keep their dreams alive...
Quick note to let everyone know I changed the Breedlove that's for sale to an auction starting at $1,000, and that's delivered. I'm not on top of Breedlove prices, that much is evident so I started it tad + high. Ken Cartwright said he'll throw in some wickedly cool Mandolin Evolution stickers to go with it. Those are essentially shown below but put on a bumper sticker with his music store. Need to work on this image in the future and move the banjo player back a few notches...
