Thanks to all who supported the fundraiser for Stewart at Cochrane
on May 12.

We had beautiful weather, the paragliders had a good afternoon. Hang gliders had
fun in the evening and spectators had a great time catching up with old and new
friends. Stewart unfortunately was not able to join us as he was only a few days
out of ICU but we held the event anyway. It’s difficult for Stew to get out
especially when having to organize transportation.

So far we have collected $22,121.13 from the day. A ck is coming for $3000 plus
over $3500 has been sent into the paypal account .

Many thanks to the following: Will Gadd (especially for setting up the paypal
account) and offering an afternoon of rock or ice climbing for 2 – wow! That is
a priceless gift! Our auctioneer, Larry ( a new career opportunity?) Keith - who
help with everything Jade Skye and her two friends who looked after the 50/50
draw – great job girls! Michelle Darrel & Mario from Hinton The Rocky Mountain
Hang Gliding League And we must not forget Rick and Chad, our burger kings and
Marcey Skye for the salad Hope that I didn’t miss anyone, if so, a big thank
you.

Another big thank you for the people who donated to the auction: Aqua Sport
Scuba Centre (and Helen Chang); Natalie & Bob Gardner of the Hitch Centre;

C. J. Wilkins; Pat Patfield; Margit Nance; Columbia River Kyak & Canoe (Penny &
Max); Janet Morris;Doug Skye and our friendly neighbours, Bev & Gord Graham
Note: Doug donated a $80 radio controlled helicopter and due to a race between
Doug and Will, it cost $320 for Doug to buy it back! Very entertaining.

A list of donations will be passed on to Stewart.

He phoned yesterday and wanted to pass on his thanks for your generosity.
