Stop Sending Bras. Start Sending Money!

Two more large packages full of bras arrived today (one of them contained a check too, Woohoo)! We now have more than enough bras for the sail and decorations for the boat. I am so pleased with the response to the requests for bras. Now it is time for me to start making a serious plea for monetary donations. When I fisrt started this thing, I was pretty certain that I was going to have to make a trip to the Salvation Army Store to buy bras just to complete the sail. I could not have been more wrong. If the same number of people that donated a bra for the sail decide to donate $20, that's $3000 right off the bat. I keep getting questions from people that are confused about the donation pledge form. Forget about it. Please just donate what you can. By the way, the next 10 people who donate $50 or more via this website will receive an official Moondog Free Press T-shirt as a token of our appreciation (I will email you next week to get your size and mailing address).
Also, if any of you want to conatact me while I am on the island, send me an email at jeff@moondogfreepress.com. If my cellphone-laptop contraption works as planned, I will check my email and post to this blog every hour that I am on the island, and I will also respond to emailed questions or comments in this blog.
Finally, I talked to Mark Mascolo, my friend who offered the use of his pontoon boat as the official watercraft of Bras Across the Water. He was enroute to pick up the boat this afternoon when I talked to him. He said he would be taking the boat to his farm, transferring it onto a better trailer, and bringing it to my house tomorrow afternoon. This is perfect timing because I am very close to securing a live interview with a local on-air personailty very early Wednesday morning. Exposure on local TV could be HUGE for donations!
