News and Notes – 8/23/2007 6:27 am

THANK YOU to Those Who Have Donated!!! As I have received contributions for the annual BBI donation campaign, I have attempted to send thank-you e-mails to those who have given. In some instances, I have not been able to do either because I am receiving e-mail delivery error messages or, in the case of donations sent to the P.O. Box, I do not know the person’s e-mail address.

For those who have donated, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your contributions. Also, thank you for the notes of support, advice, and encouragement. Each letter or note is carefully read and appreciated. If you have not received a thank-you e-mail from me, then it is only because I was unable to do so for the reasons mentioned above.

Meanwhile, the contribution campaign does continue. I encourage readers to not wait until the last minute to donate. Remember, the campaign will only run until the beginning of the 2007 NFL season.

For more information on the donation campaign and how to contribute, please see the BBI donation page.
