During this period, all 2007 Heavy Hiters are guaranteed the route,
Saturday night lodging and Sunday transportation mode of choice. This
guarantee expires as soon as alumni registration opens on January 8th.
Congratulations – and thanks again - to all 1,580 heavy hitters!

This will be my first year as a PMC Heavy Hitter Alumnus. EXCELLENT!

In a separate message a couple weeks ago, they told us about the fundraising minimums for 2008. They went up. A lot! Oy!

Fundraising minimums for 2008

1. All routes finishing in Provincetown: $4,000
2. Two-day rides finishing in Wellesley: $3,400
3. One-day rides to Bourne: $3,000
4. Sunday Wellesley - Wellesley ride: $1,300
5. Heavy Hitter*: $6,700

Last year the Provincetown routes were $3600, and the Heavy Hitter level was $6600. It's odd that HH only went up by $100.

This year the donation to the Jimmy Fund was $33 Million. My little contribution to that was about $7300 (that's how much I raised, not personally donated).

2008 Is Looming

I hope my software donors from this spring/summer are ready and willing to donate early this year! My plan is to start raising funds as soon as I register, and spread it out for nine months instead of overworking myself for three at the last minute.
