The list of pledges will show an * next to your name if I have received information that you have sent your money to the museum. My numbers matched Megan's when I verified what she had received.

WE NEED MORE $'s !!

I know there are more people on this forum that read our posts, that have not yet contributed... please just find $30-$50 to contribute toward the XLR having some recognition down in Bowling Green.

THANK YOU ALL that have pledged and contributed.
A donation to the XLR Brick Fund would make a great stocking stuffer! Let's keep the spirit alive and remember why we are all here on this forum!

Please contact me if any of you have any questions on the XLR Brick. Once we get a little closer, we need to start hammering out the design details... but right now - we need MORE $'s! This is the season of giving, isn't it?

Thank you to all who have already given toward the brick!

It's also tax deductible, so you can also give yourself the gift of a tax break! (Whether you stuff your stocking or someone else's). The receipt letter is nice looking too.

Thanks Giz, I've updated the total (up to $1,425 now).

Come on, people, lets get this brick back on track. We are just over halfway there - it should not be this difficult to raise enough money for an XLR Brick down in Bowling Green - between all of us XLR people.

Thanks to all of you who have already contributed toward the brick... it will look great!

Hi Dave:

I just don't understand with all these members and new members why we can't raise enough to get this project finished! Even if it's just $10.00 from each person or couple adds up! I plan to do a trip now to Bowling Green KY when it's done just to see it! When ever that may be?????

COME ON XLR OWNERS IF YOU CAN OWN A CAR THIS GREAT YOU CAN SURELY AFFORD SOMETHING TO HELP! WHAT EVER YOU SEND WILL HELP GET TO OUR GOAL! LETS GET THIS BRICK SET IN PLACE WHERE IT BELONGS. IT'S BEEN AWHILE SINCE ANY DONATOINS HAVE BEEN SENT. ALSO GET A RECEIPT BACK THEN YOU CAN USE IT FOR A TAX DONATION! PLEASE HELP WITH WHAT EVER YOU CAN!!!!
EVERY LITTLE BIT ADDS UP

Caddyman Dan

Thanks, Dan - for keeping this thread alive. Yes, with many new forum members (new owners), hopefully we can get some pledges coming in again and get they Brick placed this summer. We have less than half to go.

Any newbies - just read this thread to learn more about what we are doing here (in a nutshell - The Corvette Museum offers a BRICK to be placed a the museum; many of think that it would be appropriate to have a large brick placed at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, to represent the Cadillac XLR). Feel free to PM me with any specific questions.
