Crash is a great flyer! Check out his tunnel team. He's an awesome coach in the tunnel and sky. I edited out the ad, Paige. -Chuck Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

I'm so glad you like the necklace. I'm sure our paths will cross, you seem to be the traveling type and I'm all over the place until the middle of next year (visiting tunnels). We'll meet on my trip to Perris, Colorado, AZ next year maybe. I'm sorry I could not make it out to the service. In addition to some tight finances, I recently had a massive jewelry order come in (rush order of course) for a wedding party and the bride. I will continue to donate the profits from to BestFriends.org every time I sell a SD closing pin edition necklace. It's not much profit per necklace, but ever little bit helps when it comes to food, blankets, meds, etc. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Here is the Shannon Dean Closing Pin Necklace (completed). This one is minus the custom closing pin but the small beads and crystals are the design I will be using. This should give everyone a better over all idea of the piece. I wore it to a coffee shop fundraiser and got tons of compliments on it. The crystals are very eye catching and beautiful.

Not very often but then again I haven't jumped in over a year (TONS of tunnel time however, I mean TONS!). I've found other outlets that are a far more dominating force in my life. Life is all about balance. Right now, jumping is not in my balance. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Change it up! I like your current colors however so that's a tough call. You decide . I know, I'm a ton of help hu? Of course, if you change it up, that means you might have to get a new spiffy suit to match the new container but that's not so terrible

Such a great outcome to a grim sounding story. I'm so glad your new puppy is hanging in there and over coming all these hurdles. I'll light a candle for your puppy and wish both of you the best! I get a new kitty, George tomorrow! I'm so excited. I can't wait to get a house so I can have room for a dog to run and play! I want a big dog so I just can't justify keeping the poor thing in a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apt. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Here's what I've come up w. for beads and crystals. I used blue/orange crystals w. blue, orange, and gold accent beads. I wanted to alternate the colors to make it more on the obxnious side. I decided to use non metal gold beads because I found they made the crystals look too gold. I think it's nice combo of color, beads, and pattern. I can't wait to get a closing pin to make the necklace complete! *bump* Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Whoooooo for the generous dz.com community!!!!!!!!!!! We've raise way more money than I thought possible, that should def. be the focus and the good stuff we get to reflect on. Shannon is still a unifying force doing all kinds of good. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Thanks babe! Appreciate the post. Really, I'd do it all over again w. 10x's the hastle. I'm greatful to those who appreciate the effort. Even if I had done this anon. and never got recognition (side not-not the purpose of doing this at all) it wouldn't matter, it'd all be worth it! I'd have to say Pedro is still way cooler though Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

There is a yearly charge for the account. I offered use of my account so people could have the option of donating via credit card. Not everyone is cash rich or has cash to spare all the time. I'd be devistated if the only way I could give was via CC and I was unable to. Giving makes people feel good and if a CC is all you've got at that moment in time, so be it, you should be able to give just like everyone else. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Oh yes, I think I already told her how amazing her skills are (if not, Conundrum you are an amazing artist and you seem to be filled w. tons of creativity) so I wanted to pass some kudos on to you for arranging all this. Logistics can be a pain too. Thank you both for your hard work

Could not agree more. He's a fantastic flyer and coach, not to mention person. The energy coming from him is contageous and you can't not have a good time flying w. him. He's a favorite of mine. Oh, it doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes Wow, you should see him stretch! That is impressive in and of itself. Outisde and inside the tunnel u can't go wrong w. Sean.

That would have been great to know earlier No one else stepped up to the plate so I did what I could. Why didn't you set up a personal account and take care of this? Had I known I would have done just that. Edited to add: Like I've said before, I have no mal intent and am only trying to do something to help out those who have more pressing issues in their life right now. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Well, one could always get the Amex Centurion Black card. But then again, it's invite only, $2500 a year account fee, and you have to charge at least $250,000 a year on it. But it looks damn nifty! Wouldn't that be nice! Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

If you do a search of Instructors by tunnel and click on their names, you'll see what each Instructor is signed off for. You can be a level 2 Instructor with some level 3 sign-offs, such as supported head down. Looking through the Perris Instructors, it looks like they are signed off for supported head down. Derek Whoooooooo! Way to go Steven and Perris crew!!!!! Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

He's not in Orlando anymore. He might be visiting but isn't here consistantly Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

I got word today from an instructor out in Perris that they are all level 2 rated now. According to the IBA website, a level 2 rating does not allow them to spot HD. Level 2 transitions do not include anything hd. Level 2 from IBA website 6+ Months Experience 260+ Hours Instructor Time Teach Walking Skills Teach Assisted Lvl II Transitions Teach Unassisted Lvl II Transitions Teach Sit Fly Fly w/ Flyers w/ Restrictions* Level 3 instructor from IBA website 12+ Months Experience 520+ Hours Instructor Time Fly with Flyers w/o Restrictiions Teach Supported Head-down Teach Assisted Lvl III Transitions Teach Unassisted Lvl III Transitions Teach Intermediate Head-down Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Love the final design. All of your hard work is appreciated. I posted before but I'm not sure if I also posted about the stickers. I would like 2 patches and 2 stickers please. Thanks again for putting this together. Edited to have my post make sense Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Here's what I got from PayPal in regards to having the fee's waived. It's almost word for word the same email I got when I asked them about TFTC.

Thank you, but no one owes me. I've gained much more from this experience than I've given. It's been stressful w. a lot of other things going on in my life right now but I wouldn't change anything. The outcome is amazing and I'm delighted to be able to be part of such a fantastic cause. Thank you and everyone else for giving me a job to do. Without the donations, I'd be useless Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

It's an AmEx...you're supposed to pay it off every month. Hence, if you're smart, there's no interest. Not all AmEx cards are this way now. There are some that accumulate interest like the rest Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

The next TPM sister inducted is #80!!!! That's very exciting
