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.

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.)
