Great Start & My First Corporate Sponsor

Thank you to everyone for your kind words and donations so far. There are a number of you who have verbally committed to a donation amount which brings my total well above the $1,000 mark.
In addition to individual donations, I received my first corporate sponsorship from Melitta USA today (http://www.melitta.com/). I used to work closely with them in the past. They are a great group of people that I sincerely miss working with. I truly appreciate their generous donation and continued support. Happy 100 Year Anniversary!
