Thanks for your support

Sarah a couple of nights ago sent me a lot of text messages. These messages that she was sending to me for a little over an hour compiled the letter that was sent to the Galena Gazette. Here is what Sarah wrote. I want to take this time to say thank you to all my sponsors for your generous donations in support of my sponsorship to march with the Colts Drum & Bugle Corps of Dubuque, Iowa.
Looking for sponsors is not at all an easy job, but because of so many wonderful poeple in Galena, you helped make a tough job a little easier for me and what you did was truly an act of kindness. I am so grateful for what you have done for me.
You brought me closer to my tuition fees so that I could march; at present I am only $235.00 dollars from having the fees paid. A percent needs to be meant in order to march once the contract is signed and you helped me achieve this so far.
As a thank you for all you have done, I asked my father to create a website so that you, my sponsors and others in Galena may be able to follow me throughout the season and see what your generous donations have done. For the past three weekends my father has built and completed the webiste.
You will be able to see so many wonderful things just not of me but also of all the Colts members and what we are doing. There will be photos and film footage; some of these are already up on the links to my webpage.
I also have a blog so I can leave messages as what I am doing and you will be able to make comments as well or you can send those comments to the e-mail link and they will be posted for you.
If you would like to be notified of updates please send your e-mail address to the e-mail link on my webpage and you will be notified when updates are posted.
My web page is; http://home.mchsi.com/~adrean/welcome.html.
I would like to remind you of the summer premier show at Platteville, WI (UWP) on June 12 at 7 p.m. This would be a great opportunity to see what your sponsorship has done for me and I really hope to meet you there in person and talk with you. I would love to have a picture taken with all my sponsors; it would mean so much to me.
I have asked my father to send out a personal letter to each of you, my sponsors thanking you for what you have done for me. I am unable to sign them and I want to apologize for that, however I am currently with the Colts and it is hard to meet with my father at night and get them signed as we work until sometimes after 9 p.m.
I would also like to mention that I will be at the Colts Car Wash in East Dubuque, on June 7 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. I hope we will have some other trumpet players with me so that we can play some music for you while your car is being washed.
Again thank you so much for your generous donations for my sponsorship, I could not have done this without all of your help.
Thank you and I hope to see you soon on the field.

Sarah
