[s-cars] S-CAR Nationals Cancelled... but wait, there is more!

[Darin Nederhoff]

Hi folks,

First of all, thanks for all of the support.  I've been getting e-mail from a
number of you who are wanting to help cover the loss.

Before you start flooding me with donations I should say that my loss financially
is MUCH lower than anticipated.  Contractually, I stood to lose more than $9400
from the hotel end alone.  After informing the hotel of the situation and asking
for whatever help they could give, I was simply amazed when they offered me a $700
event cancellation fee.  This means that I'm losing just $850 - 900 on the entire
weekend which isn't nearly as bad as nine large.  I have to give kudos to the
Marriot in Minnetonka for their understanding.

As you can see, a major crisis was adverted.  We're still doing an S-Fest in
Minneapolis on Saturday the 31st, so I think the initial goal of raising some
funds for the children's cancer research fund can still be achieved.

If you wish to make donations to cover the costs then I will accept them with
thanks.  If I recover the amount of the loss and donations are still coming in I
will delegate those funds to the charitable cause on behalf of our group.
