Thanks Kansas

I wanted to say thanks to all the people in the Kansas Chapter who helped out on FTE's 1st Annual National Rally. We really had a hit for the first year and have already secured it again for next year. You the members again came through and did a great job and I want you all to know how much it was appreciated.

Peggy and FTE were a wonder to work with on this and together we have started a lasting legacy. We owe them our most sincere thanks for allowing Kansas to be the Rally host and putting their trust (and money) with us to put on a great show. Together we made it and will continue to produce yearly events for some time.

It was our pleasure to host such an event. I know that when I say this, I am speaking for others that We would do it all again in a heart beat!! We take pride in our chapter and are proud that FTE has used our chapter as a bench mark for our chapters current or future. We also take pride in being part of something that brings FTE members in as far as 2500 miles away. Quite inpressive if you ask me. We will proudly host the FTE national event for as long as FTE will have us.

Yes, it takes huge amounts of planning but doesn't it all become worth it in the last 2 days?
I saw new friendships develope, I saw old friendships rekindled, I saw a new partnership be come a reality and I saw a ton of pride. I couldn't be happier in our chapter right now.
I couldn't be more proud of a chapter right now!!! And to think, FTE hasn't seen anything yet!!! Wait till next yrs. Rally!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just for everyones information, we were able to raise $639.00 for the Tim Feldhans Memorial fund this year at the Rally through donations and auctions. This year we had members from all over donate things to an auction with all proceeds going to the fund. This is nearly double what we did last year and continues to grow ans shows how strong our support is towards Tim and his memory. Tim will always be with us.

On another note we had a member whom had his car broke into at the Woodlands and he lost not only his computer and camera but also all their cloths. The members of FTE I am proud to say were able to raise some cash for them to help offset the cost of the insurance deductible.

There is not a better group of people and these things prove what they are made of.

Thanks again.

Tony, I'm convinced we'll be able to add a few zeroes to that number at future Rallys. Tim's girls are gonna get the best education that the Kansas Chapter's money can buy!

Angelia and I had a blast. That was the most fun we have seen in quite a while. The heat isn't so bad when you are with friends and doing something you enjoy. I even managed to leave a little faster that I got there, thanks to Ken.
