hipgnosis 0 #1 January 14, 2005 (note, if this is in any way inappropriate for this group, please ignore/delete). I am honored to have been asked to participate in a repeat of a special and worthwhile event that a group of us did almost two years ago. On Saturday, January 29th Perris Valley Skydiving Presents “Blue Skies for Future Eyes! 2” A fund raiser to benefit the American Council of the Blind (ACB). You will find more information about ACB below. At the last event we raised over $7,000 in donations. This time we are attempting to top $10,000. This will be a unique jump featuring John Fleming, Perris’ only blind skydiver. He is one of only a few blind skydivers in the world. He had logged over a thousand skydives previous to a degenerative eye disease taking his sight and has made over five hundred jumps since with the aid of radios. Organized by Dan Brodsky-Chenfeld we will build a twenty person formation around John in the sky. The formation will be in the shape of a human eye and video will once again be made available to the media. Three stations in Los Angeles aired footage of our last jump bringing even more much needed attention and donations to ACB. We could all use a few 'feel good' stories right about now, right? Each of us (the twenty formation jumpers and two camera jumpers) will be required to collect a minimum of $250 in donations to participate and will cover our own slots. If you feel that this is a worthwhile cause, then please donate. If not, then don't. No pressure! Checks should be made out to: American Council of the Blind. To make your canceled check a legal tax receipt, write Charitable Donation in the memo section. If you are sending a cash donation (checks are referred) and need a receipt for tax purposes, one will be made available. You can mail cash or checks to: Bill Morrison 25567 Cedarbrook Ave Moreno Valley, CA 92553 For more information you can contact me at 951-442-9443 or send me a PM. Thanks for reading this far!
