Victor Huang of Castro Valley, CA sent 80-20 a $5,000 payment for Matching Fund after seeing 80-20's video:
Should AsAms be active in Am politics? (3'20") and an accompanying PowerPoint in pdf form:
Upon seeing Victor's $5k payment via Paypal, I thanked him telling him that 80-20'd acknowledge a matching-fund-donors differently but his ability to get the tax deduction remained the same.
SURPRISE & FUN began!
From Victor Huang:
"No problem, happy to help. Acknowledgement and the tax deduction were not considerations when donating. You may announce that I have donated the $5,000 for a matching fund. Please let me know if I may be of further assistance."
From me, being thick-skinned, I replied:
"Thank you, Victor. :-) Thanks for offering "further assistance". Since I am not asking for things for myself, one day I may just take you up on it. :-) You seem a great guy. Best, SB"
From Victor Huang, who replied to my reply:
"Absolutely. It is a standing offer, so please feel free to take me up on it whenever you deem fit. Judging from your work, you seem like a great guy, too :) -Victor"
AREN'T YOU IMPRESSED?

to exhaust Victor's $5k Matching Fund in 1 day!
It's not hard to exhaust his $5k in 1 day in order to help SELF succeed. It takes only 1 person to donate $1,000 per year for 5 years, or 10 persons to give $100 per year for 5 years, or 50 persons to each give a $100 lump sum donation TODAY.
I promise YOU, if you'll achieve that - I'll find another $5k matching-fund-donor tomorrow to salute YOU for the GREAT community spirit YOU've displayed.
