AdminLB Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Hi All, As per the earlier thread on the topic of " Recognizing VR Members at Events " , we are taking action. We are in the process of ordering the pins and are ready to begin accepting Donations. A donation of $10 or more will get you a VR lapel pin and your name in the VR Donor Hall of Fame....which will be a THANK YOU thread in this forum with the names of the donors. 100% of all Donations will be given away as Advanced Helicopter Training Scholarships at the 2011 HeliSuccess Career Development Seminar as we do every year. We here at VerticalReference.com have consistently given away money to help fund training for those in our industry who need it. Here are some examples: LETTER FROM HELICOPTER FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL ARTICLE POST 2008 HELISUCCESS ARTICLE PRE 2011 HELISUCCESS WANT TO DONATE AND GET A PIN? Here is how: 1.

Goldy Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Lyn- You've got my $100 bucks....see you in Oct. 1 Quote

RkyMtnHI Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 You folks are awesome, it's cool to see people giving back with no thought of anything in return (much like the Heli-Success weekend). The next person that donates $100 for their pin towards the scholarship fund, both LYN and i will match that $100!! Sooo, the next $100 is actually $300... Here is the funny thing.....at least to me anyways ....Although I know he wants this scholarship thing to happen, I never even checked with lyn to see if he would match the $$$. A. He cannot deny me.B. Better to ask forgiveness than beg permission.C. I will buy him beer in Vegas and all will be forgiven (hopefully). This is fun stuff... :-) dp 2 Quote
gary-mike Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 I'll get there. Not procrastinating, I just need to secure my entry to heli-success first and I have been inspired to try to make the $100 mark (don't tell my wife ) 1 Quote
edspilot Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Ok, DP, not to be out done, I just matched your 100.00 too. Therfore, that next person's 100.00+ Your 100.00+ Lyn's 100.00+ my $100.00 So that 1, 2, 300.00 just became $400.00 Don't you just love bidding wars. At least this bidding war, EVERYBODY WINS !!!!! edspilot 1 Quote
Snowman Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 I know I have said it in the past, but if any VR member rents my property in Honduras I will donate 10% of the rental amount (or $100.00 which ever is greater). Check it out, maybe its time to take a trip! GoUtila.com 1 Quote
SBuzzkill Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) Is there a counter somewhere that we can watch? Edited August 30, 2011 by SBuzzkill Quote
Mikemv Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 You guys are in trouble now as I just stepped up and donated a $100 for pin and scholarship fund! I have been in a "Give Back" mode for awhile now and this is just another way to help. I am trying to get my schedule together to attend Heli-Success again and be part of the FAASTeam Bonus presentations and run around and help Lyn admin again. Fair warning above! Mike 2 Quote
