I’m looking forward to working with him to provide some great stuff to sell at events this year.</div><div><br></div><div>2) Peter VanHuesden - Advanced Flyer from Michigan - Peter is sponsoring ALL of the Team’s personal apparel for the event. That’s Shirts, hats, coats, etc for 10 people. It’s no small feat. It may seem trivial and a splurge, but it’s very important to look united at the WC’s. Everyone works hard to present a professional image, both in how we look and how we act. A big thanks to Pete for taking a big dent out of our budget needs.</div><div><br></div><div>3) Mike Mueller - Masters Pilot from Chicago, and Owner of F3A Unlimited. You’ll hear me thank Mike a lot, and as a pattern community I think we owe him ever thank you and plug he can get. He’s donated CASH… Equipment, support, Raffle Prizes, and endless time and effort both to the team, and to the Hobby. And after all of that he’s still one of the first guys to throw $10 in the 50/50 raffle every contest. </div><div><br></div><div>I know we have a lot of people that help out and I’m sure I’m being remiss not to name more individually (and likely will over the next year), but I think these three stand out in the size and effort of their support.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks, thanks, and more thanks.</div><div><br></div><div>-Mark</div><div><div>
