The following individuals contributed money toward the flag and hospitality fund for Syncro de Mayo this year. The funds were spent on flags from each country having representative/guest present at the event, hardware to display them and gifts to the guests who traveled from abroad. These donations were made by syncronauts from the USA who wanted to help extend a warm welcome to our international guests. Donations Total donated $390 Dan Flemming ($50) William Hoenig Timothy King Smith Held Donald Dixon ($20) Ronald Cunningham Mark Shoering ($20) Thomas Sinclair Robert Stevens ($25) Sanford Schulwolf David Mari Larry Chase Werner Schnik Diana Anderson Eldon Miller Tom Lengyl ($150) Fund Expenditures: >Flags : $252 >Gifts: $ 93 (wine, cheese, cold cuts, bread for >Jan & Pierre + dinner for Gary Lee) (Tim Smith's airline ticket was funded >by event fees paid in 2004 by ESPN2's film crew and a few private donations.) >Flag Poles, etc. $ 44 > >TOTAL: $389 Thanks to all of the donors for helping us make the flag display and hospitality gifts possible. The flags looked great, I will post pics as soon as I get some. The guests were very appreciative of and moved by your generosity and hospitality. Here is a pic that includes some of the flags that was taken from the stage. This view does not quite capture the full effect (or all of the flags) given when the flags were viewed from other more common vantages, especially when the wind was blowing, and they were all flowing. Hopefully, another photo will. (p.s. there were flags at the main gate, too.) |
