We're trying to help spread the word, in particular to anyone in the greater Western Washington area, about some help that's needed to support a couple of people injured in the horrific crash at Reno this year. In the interest of expediency, I'm sharing an email from Sandra More who is spearheading one project in particular. By way of background, here's her post from another forum:

And her email to me:


Hi Hal,

I need a couple of things. First, if there are any EAA folks who are close to Graham, Washington and can help out with the work party this Saturday, that would great. I promised Tracy Cruz a head count, so I need to know definitely if they can go or not. There will be some remodel type work if anyone in the group has the skills, but mostly we're talking clean-up on two pieces of property, wood splitting, etc.

One property is Larry and Tracy Cruz's and the other is the McMichael property. Jim was killed at the races.

Second, we also are in continuing need of donations to cover building materials so Tracy doesn't have to continue using their savings. If people want their donations to be tax deductible, they can go to http://thinkkindness.org/reno_air_ra...ssistance_fund (http://thinkkindness.org/reno_air_race_family_assistance_fund) and when they donate specify that the funds are to go to Larry and Tracy.

Because it takes so long to get money approved and transferred out of the fund, I've set up a donation account with PayPal on my website: www.pit-lizards-ultd.net (http://www.pit-lizards-ultd.net/) Money donated there isn't tax deductible, but I can wire it to Tracy without waiting for Committee approval.

Feel free to give anyone who wants to help my contact info.

Thanks again for all your help. I keep wishing we had more lead time on a lot of this, but that's just not how life works.

Sandra
