Okay, here's where we are at.
The paver for the Zone has now been collected in full. I am going to cover the taxes and shipping as my contribution to it.
I need those who contributed to post some ideas of what the paver will say in this thread and we will vote. I personally liked the idea of using Michael Irvin's quote from his HOF speech combined with our site name and motto. If all are good with that, we will use it. This is very open so please offer input. Anyone is allowed to offer a suggestion for what it will say, but I will ask those who contributed to have actual say in what the paver says.
We have 4 lines, with 16 characters per line. That includes spaces and punctuation counting as a character.
So put your thinking caps on.
As of right now, 3 of the pledges have not been received. I will give that a day or so. If they do not come in I will cancel those PayPal requests and contact the 3 people who asked to donate but whom I have not sent requests to because we had enough money pledged so far.
We received pledges for about $15.00 over the $150.00 cost of the paver once PayPal removes all of its transaction fees. I will cover the balance of taxes and shipping for that paver as well. I also intend to send Major Hagerty's family a card on behalf of this entire forum thanking him for his selfless service.
Major Hagerty's friend is going to get the final say on what the paver says. I hope no one has an issue with that. Please feel free to make suggestions for this one too.
