IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP/GET THE LITTLE GOLD TROPHY NOW IS THE TIME.
This is a copy from A-Snake over on ALL COBRA TALK.
"2005 Club Cobra Fundraiser Please Read
For past few years TURK has headed up a fund raising drive for Brent Mills and the Club Cobra Forum. These funds were used to keep the servers etc. “maintained”. Sponsors now help to defray the costs via their ads.
Brent has done a wonderful job in establishing a premier board that is free to its members. Brent works his magic to keep the forum up and running. So this is now a token of our appreciation. He has never asked for it, and he accepts gracefully.
Ever notice those little gold trophies next to the user name? That’s what YOU get for showing your support for Club Cobra. Plus there are advanced edit privileges you will receive.
In order to give TURK a break from this task, I have volunteered to handle it for this year. I hope I can be as successful as Turk has been in years prior.
The membership to CC has now grown to over 12,000 worldwide. Around 6300 have posted at least once on the board. (Someone has posted over 7600 times!) The balance of the members simply enjoy reading and learning about their hobby.
I knew of the board some time ago but did not join and frankly didn’t think there was anything here that would be of any value. Finally last fall I joined and became amazed at the wealth of information that is represented by the membership of this forum. I have learned so much more about the original cars that started it all. I have had the chance to read and interact on threads with people that have knowledge and wonderful experiences with some of the most desirable cars in the world. For someone wanting to buy or build a car, I can’t imagine not making use of the talent and information available on this board. For those of us that simply wish to BS about our hobby or anything else with other ‘gear-heads’, there is a place here to do that.
In the last 6 months or so we have seen tremendous human kindness shown by members of this club. Things like Dwayne and his dream of a Shelby. How businesses and sponsors and members stepped up to make it happen. How a Kirkham was created from members’ donations to raise $50,000.+ to help in the Tsunami disaster in Asia. Kindness extended from these types of things to the simple “Can someone help me fix my car?”
Now here is what you can do to support CC.
Write a check made out to Brent Mills PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH
(I want the accounting kept transparent)
Mail it to: CLUB COBRA
5301 NW BLUFF DR
PARKVILLE, MO 64152
Please include: Your user name and your real name.
If you only include your real name I will not be able to find your user name
This year I will list in a separate thread the list of donors. I will only list the user name not your real name. (Unless you request your real name be used)
I will not list the individual amounts, only the total raised
For those that wish to use PayPal
(Remember Pay Pal subtracts their charges)
Email to:
cobra289@kc.rr.com
Again, please include your user name.
Please email or PM with any questions or suggestions. I am open to ideas that will make this the most successful year. Last year TURK put together over $7200. during the event.
With 6200 members that have posts, just $1.50 apiece would be unreal! (No pun intended) As for the member with 7600 posts, $1.00 for each post would beat last year’s total!
I would like to conclude this by the end of May. I’m not looking to make a career of this.
So in advance, thank you for your support."
