Howdy everyone,
Are you ready for a FReepathon?
The state of our FR is strong!
Our big legal bill is now paid off and our budgetary requirements are now reduced. For the first time in our history, our monthly donations are now bringing in more than 50% of our quarterly budget! Thanks to our generous membership and the settlement with the City of Fresno, we now have a comfortable cash buffer and should have no problems meeting our coming tax payments and other obligations.
I've recalculated our estimated budget requirements for the remainder of the year and have posted them here:

We just completed the first loop of our nationwide tour and we had a great time! We traveled through eleven states in three weeks and FReeped with, met with and dined with FReepers in ten cities and from at least a dozen chapters. It's great to see all our old friends again and to meet new ones. Joining a gathering of FReepers is just like going a family reunion. Very warm and friendly and just like home. Thank you all so much for your gracious hospitality and friendship!
We hope to visit all fifty states and most of our chapters within the next year or so. We hope to visit our LA Chapter on the 1st of August to tour the Reagan Library. We hope to visit our San Diego Chapter sometime this month to welcome home the USS Ronald Reagan. We're also planning a Pacific Northwest Tour in August. In January, we're planning a trip across the South and down into Florida and then up the Eastern Coast to Washington, DC for the Free Republic George W Bush Inaugural Ball II!! Woo hoo!!
Well, with the war in Iraq all but concluded, the trial of the Butcher of Iraq about to start, and the election season heating up, I'm sure that FR is going to be THE place to be to get the very latest in news and conservative discussion in the coming months.
Thank you FReepers for making FR the premier conservative forum on the Internet!
Looking forward to the coming campaign season! Good luck to all and may the very best people be chosen to lead our great nation!
Thank God for our successes thus far in the war for freedom and may He guide us through to complete victory over tyranny and terrorism.
Thank you and may God bless you all.
Jim
I'm here!
Uhhhhhh.......wait. Maybe we're BOTH uninvited.
Hmmm......
Ping! a challenge from NYTexan
I just got home from working a long day!
OK, Here Ya GO!
My challenge:
I will match any donation from FReepers in New York or Texas up to $20 each, for a maximum total of $200, from now till 9 PM tonight.
May the best state win!
Meek, Mayor, your ping lists please
Any stats on first time FReeper donations?
I don't have them...hang on, they're all posted periodically.
THANKS for bumping the thread!!
We found a really great cake - only about 6 inches around.....for the 3 of us that is more than enough!!!! And all present (at least those for today) were done this moring.
The real (in her mind) "party" is 2 weeks from tomorrow.....being born on July 2 has it's drawbacks!!!!!
I'm so sorry you can't get the colorizer to work - I don't know what else to do to help.........
That's beautiful!!!!!!
Since ya just got in I'll extend my challenge by one hour and another $100. Challenge goes to $300 and ends at 10 pm EST. Good Luck NY!
The very last thing I do on these threads is keep stats............no one would know anything if it were left up to me!!!!
Howya doin?????????
I'll just wait till later, when I turn my computer on. It's been something I've NEEDED to do for a long time.
Oh...the banner? I stole it from Rintense. :-)
All is well here in hot and humid Florida.
Reason for asking about stats: I am thinking about a matching donation challenge for new and/or long lost donors. Something in the range of up to $5.00 per donor for a max of $100.
You're too funny!!!!!!!!!
Rotti...can you help NautiNurse?
I'm in WAY over my head...you haven't a CLUE!
Glad to here all is well - it's hot and humid up here as well
Rotti and JimRob are the ones that know about the stat kind of stuff. Wish I could help better.
Here's the $100 extra I promised John if he would help me with the special project, I also bumped up my monthly.
This is in memory of President Reagan.
Thanks for all you do!!!
Cool. Thanks!
