Myrnice,

Thanks for posting this note. I felt I should respond to (briefly) describe
why I am reluctant to post reminders here about the PMC. First, the topic is
OT for TMG-L, so discussion of it should be minimal and I never know how
much is too much. I want to respect the other members of the mailing list by
following the rules. Perhaps more importantly, many subscribers to TMG-L
have made donations in the past. I don't want to appear to keep asking the
same people for donations over and over.

I have been riding a lot for the past few weeks and I am ready to do the
ride. My wife and 17-year old daughter are also riding. That multiplies the
fund raising required by 3, but it's a great way for us to give back to the
community and to teach our daughter the value of community service.

Thanks again for bringing it up.

John
