Great Excitement
OH WOW! I am excited!
I had to go take a small break before writing this... Two solid days of
not moving from the computer, I agree my seat is sore.
Congratulations Karen and your wonderful team!!
Gosh everyone, you sure made the waiting for her to come in exciting
and fun. I did see the still shot of her under the arch from the alternate
WebCam in Nome but that's
all. At least you know the exact moment and my heart was pounding. I hope the
Iditarod Insider will have a video later on.
Even with all the tribulations Karen had on this journey, she has
conquered.
Our family is so very proud of her and today is certainly a better
day than yesterday was.
So many thanks to Ann & the website team for doing such a great job making it so easy
for us to find articles and pictures with just one click of the
finger instead of having to search everywhere. To Donna Q who devotes
so much time in keeping us informed and in line on the NorthWapiti News Yahoo
Group. You gals are really
fantastic.
All of you that have taken and shared your great pictures with us
really helped to make us feel we were there.
Thank you so much - Jeff our new NW techie...great work. (Media files - Such
as the "Pretty Sled Dogs" music video)
Thought this would be a good time to give final updates on our
sponsorships. Since everyone is involved and Karen and Mark would
have a hard time doing this without your personal commitments,
financial help and encouragement. You have all made this possible.
Funds have been converted into Canadian dollars.
Kara's total is $1134.30
Nahanni 404.46
Happy Feet 200.00
Fuel Acct. 190.00
Total $1928.76
Quite Wonderful. Thank you all.
In 2004 our total was $1475.62
For 2005 our total for these areas was $1535.44
Your names should be showing where you sponsored. I certainly hope
not but if your name is not listed or you have questions please
contact me privately.
WHAT A HAPPY DAY !!
