To my friends at TeamMiG, I joined this site in November 2005 because I wanted to know if MiG got a record deal and learn more about him. That hasn't changed! but to my surprise, i found a site that is riendly and fun. I have made many incredible friends here and it has made going to the MiG gigs so much more fun to do with friends! For a long time I didn't donate because I thought Proboards were free. I learned that there are charges for bandwidth to support the gallery. There are also other fees TM encounters. Mailing drop cards to members, mailing cards and gifts to MiG is another. Many members have been generous in making donations to the site. Even so, they haven't covered site expenses or promotional expenses. our fabulous Mod has been picking up the excess. Several of us in talking decided that as a TEAM we should try to figure out a way to help with these expenses and hopefully have some fun. To raise money for the site and give a gift to MiG from our TEAM Wanda offered to xcrochet a gift and what an incredible afghan she has made. We didn't give anything to MiG as a group gift so this would be a nice out of the blue kind of gift. I know sometimes for me, that can make a dreary day a spectacular day. Please help us in our quest to help with teamMiG expenses and show MiG some support through the gift by buying a square or two at $10. Donations are due by March 5th and your name will appear on a certificate that we will include when sending it to MiG, Simmy and Powder. No fancy graphics here, just another appeal for helping us with this fundraiser. Thanks for taking the time to read this xoMB #ditto# #gatherin# #teammig# #gatherin# #ditto#

What a beautiful post, MB. I don't think I could have said it better myself. I haven't been a member here quite as long as you have, only since March 2006, but I feel the love and friendliness of all the people I've met through this forum. I LOVE knowing that I'm going to know at least one person at any MiG Gig I go to (and lots of times many more than one). It is such a joy to get together with all my friends and to see the look of surprise on MiG's face when he sees so many of us from all over the country at his shows.
I will also say that I really love all the extra stuff (the gallery of pictures and videos and mp3s) that we have access to at Team MiG. And I'm aware that these things cost money to run and keep up with. I'm so grateful that Nancy has been generous enough to continue to make up the difference out of her own pocket but it's time all us members that really enjoy this forum make the effort to reward her generosity by taking some of that load off her shoulders. I think that those of us who can afford to sponsor an afghan square (or two or more) for $10 each should do so. I truly enjoyed making the afghan and I'm so glad it turned out as well as it did, considering it was the first project I had completed in 8 or 10 years. Let's show our support for MiG and Team MiG with the added bonus of giving a gift to MiG, Simone and Powder that they can enjoy for years to come.
Thanks for listening AND sponsoring a square.Wanda #ditto# #gatherin# #teammig# #gatherin# #ditto#

I'd like to send my thanks to everyone who took part in the fundraiser as well. I think the ones that took part had a blast with it and all the promos you all did were fabulous. My only wish is that someone could be there to capture the moment MiG and Simmy open the box. I would love to have a picture of the looks on their faces and then see what Powder does when they give her hers. Oh well, we can't have everything now can we?
Thanks again, y'all.
