The BARF Fundraiser Party raised just over $6,000 for this wonderful web site!

The monies are going to be used by the BARF Technology Advisory Committee (TAC). The TAC was put together by Budman. He will be able to explain the main goal of the TAC for you.

This is a wonderful community filled with wonderful people!


This needs to be said again:

Thanks again Margie, Cat, and everyone else who put so much time and effort into this event!
 
Fantastic! Great night, Good cause, Loads of money, what more could you ask for.:thumbup
 
Now we know why Maggie went to VEGAS right after the Fundraiser!!!
 
Big Thanks to Hawkgirl..Cat_n_sf..on and on and on!

You all did a wonderful job!!!..all the sponsors that provided stuff..the ladies of barf that did the dates..the peeps that threw down money for the raffle or just pitched in.. you all rock!

BARF will be a better place.. because of all involved.

The Technology Advisiory Committee is made up of 4 volunteers and myself.

Dragon (Ken)
Nexus (Tom)
Valgar (Dave)
bsd43 (Nevin)

All of these guys have experience that will be vital to making the best decisions for the board. ALL of the money will go directly to upgrading the performance of the site as it should.

We'll take a few weeks to verify things and then start to take some action and make the best use of the money for enhancements.

This is just the first step for us.
Other things are in the works as well.

* BARF Store coming back soon.
* BARFtv powered by Vision Wells will be coming back. It will be about the various moto-activities in the Bay Area and AFM racing. Some fun stuff as well as I pimp on myself and others... this will be fun! First show under the Vision Wells umbrella should be around the 4th of July.
* Integrating the Interviews and feature articles into the board rather than on pages that people rarely see hoping to get more people to step up and produce content that we all can enjoy.
* More more more :teeth

All of this landed in one of the busiest times in my life and getting it done is high on my priority list.

I hope to be back to you soon with a more detailed info on what is up.
