Greetings!
The pages are flying off the calendar now and before we know it September and JFTC will be here! I'm starting a very busy stretch of skydiving but will continue to make JFTC my first priority. This is the 8th monthly newsletter (!) for this event (all the old ones can be found on the website at http://www.jumpforthecause.com/announcements.html ) and we have only a few more to go before September rolls around...
I think you all are quite aware of the old business and what you need to do. I'll not bother you again--simply know that if for any reason you do not have the proper paperwork, equipment (i.e. right color jumpsuit), skills, or donation amounts raised you will not be on the record setting jumps. The fine women of the K Plane will be ready, willing and able to step up and take your place. Simple enough.
Karina is working with Richard on administration--remember to contact her first: Karina Willerup <k.willerup@planet.nl> as Richard's time is very tight until he is finished with school. Dawn is working on the website and everyone who has filled out profile pages and/or registration forms should now be shown on the site--if you aren't then please contact me and I'll work with Dawn to fix that. If there is a spelling error on your name--first or last--or you want to be listed under a different last name, then please contact me directly and I'll coordinate with Richard, Dawn and Karina to make sure our records match. Our newest recruit--Caroline Hughes caroline.hughes@btinternet.com , is working closely with me to help assemble potential names for K plane--the women who will make up the essential bench team for JFTC. You may contact her directly if you have any questions about this team. Tony's formation is up with exit orders (there have been and will continue to be changes) at http://www.jumpforthecause.com/formation_info.html and you can see Craig Poxon's great application where photographs (where available!) have been superimposed onto the formation. Mallory and Andrea are working with many different potential sponsors and I'm looking forward to some great news in that area. Remember you can contact them directly if you have any leads: Mallory Lewis <jumprun@earthlink.net> , Andrea Curthoys <tbc201@aol.com>
IMPORTANT: If you are interested in being considered for K plane please fill out a participation request form (if you have not already done so) here: http://www.jumpforthecause.com/docs09/ParticipationRequestJFTC09.doc and a profile page for JFTC at this link: http://jftc.jumpforthecause.com/register.html Filling out these forms will NOT reduce your chances of being chosen for JFTC--in fact you showing your interest will increase your options. We will be selecting the K plane participants--each person to be a full member of the JFTC team -- from the women who show interest and skill in the next month. Note that the K plane women do not necessarily have to meet the 100 way "in the last year" requirement since you will be receiving top level coaching from Caroline and others on site with the specific goal of being in the record formation. The K Planers WILL have to prepare by having jumpsuit, FAI paperwork, and donations so don't delay once you are contacted. The donation amount for K plane WILL be less than for a JFTC member with a guaranteed slot. You will receive the exact costs and requirements when you receive your invitation letter. This will also allow women who have doubts that they can raise the complete $3,500 choose K plane as an option to a "front slot" on JFTC.
The Jump for the Cause Shopping site is now up: http://www.jumpforthecause.com/shopping.html and you can see both clothing from Cafe Press (contact Richard for bulk purchase pricing) and fantastic pink sapphire jewelry from our very own Bambi Knight <bkjewels@mindspring.com> available that will raise money "for the cause". If a participant wants to list other items on this page please contact Dawn directly ds@dawnsuiter.com .
I look forward to seeing many of you in the following weeks as my travels take me to the USA (Texas, California, Arizona), Norway, Poland, Belgium, Ireland, and Sweden. I am personally committed to making this JFTC the BEST SKYDIVING EVENT ever seen in the history of our sport and I kindly invite each and every one of you to make the same pledge!
Blue skies, pink suits, big goals!
