First Quarter '03 FReepathon Now Underway

Donate to Free Republic ^ | January 9, 2003 | Jim Robinson

The Free Republic first quarter '03 FReepathon is now underway!

Our goal for this fundraiser is the same as last quarter: $65,000. We have about $4,000 per month coming in from monthly donors so we will need to raise approx $53,000 to hit the target.

The funds raised through these fundraisers are used to pay our operating costs. Free Republic operates on an approximate $260,000 annual budget (breakdown here) and all funds are provided by donations from FReepers and Lurkers.

Thank you all very much for your continued support.

P.S. We are planning to make FreeRepublic.com email addresses available as a thank you to all who donate at least once per year. This new feature should be ready to go within a few days. We will post a notice and a link for donors to setup their FR email address as soon as it's ready.

Donate to FR and help us keep the lights on for the best political forum on the NET!

Alexandria originally. When I moved to the Twin Cites area, my old stomping ground was out by Mound and in St. Louis Park, Bloomington in the late 70s and early 80s. I had a Marine buddy who was from and lived in Mound so we would always hang out at the bars or the lake. Lake Minnetonka is a great spot for boaters.

My brother in law has been doing pretty well with the crappies. That I miss. Shovelling out a driveway , I don't miss ;-)

Bump!

I graduated from high school in Bloomington.

Yes, this is a beautiful part of the metro area. A "red" part of the state!

When you were stomping around Mound did you ever have the chance to eat at Al & Alma's? We live very near there on "The Island".

My dad lives in California now and he doesn't miss shoveling the driveway either ;)

Snow geese...hmmmmmm that's a tough question for a girl that doesn't know the difference between a goose and a duck LOL!

I know the pheasant hunters were out in force this fall and there are deer EVERYWHERE. But snow geese, sorry, I'm totally clueless on that one!

[chnsmok]

Who will they need to beat to go to the Super Bowl? Or is this it?

[chnsmok]

Not a hunter myself. I just aid and abet. and cook.

[Mo1]

I think they have one more game to go before the super bowl

Local News just came on .. let me see what they say

[terilyn]

Well you're three up on me then! My hubby loves to fish but never did take up hunting so I never pay much attention.

[chnsmok]

I live on a lake with the best Bass fishing in the world. Fishing is my passion. Catch and release.

FOFL .. the local news interviewed folks that were at the game and left early because it was tooooooooooo cold for them

It's ONLY 29 degrees ... They most have been Falcon Fans .. LOL

[NormsRevenge]

Al and Alma's,, nope. I wish I could remember , a couple of 'em were right on the lake tho. Gees, it doesn't seem like that long ago, altho it is over 20 years ago. Lots has changed, Im sure.
