THREE DAYS TO GO...

Update #7 · May 8, 2012 · comment

Hello, friends of JOE -

It is Tuesday afternoon, and we are proudly at 94% funded!  94%!  That is just $1704 away.  There are just three days to go.  

Can you reach out to anyone else?  Thank you so much to those who have gone back and upped your pledge... and for the next three days ANYONE who upgrades from the $100 level to the $200 level or beyond will receive their own personal glass jar of Iwo Jima sand, scooped by Joe himself in March, 2012.

Also - for any new $250 we will throw in signed books and lunch, on us, with Joe.

We need to close this gap!

Thank you once again,

Joe & Steffan
