GregGurley Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 The date and location is set. Mark your calendar. All donations and proceeds will go to Shawn Lehman and his family. Wednesday, April 7th, 7:00pm at the Manchaca Firehall Leland Wadell and the band will be playing. We will take donations at the door for the dance. Clarence Vogel will let us have the Firehall and he will sell beer and set-ups. We need to have some more volunteers to help organize and give their ideas. Cary or Chase, could you activate the phone committee to start spreading the word to the drivers. There have been a lot of people interested in donating items for a sale or auction. Could someone volunteer to coordinate that event? If anyone has ideas about serving food and interested in coordinating that, please let me know. We also need someone to set up a fund at a bank so people that can't be at the dance can make donations. Let me know if anyone will be interested in this. Nick, could you talk with Brian and see if we could get this posted on the Thunderhill Website? Here are all of my numbers if you need to contact me. Lets spread the word and dig deep for Shawn.

NickHolt Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Greg, I contacted Brian just a few minutes ago and he said that Tracie will contact Norm to get the information up on the THR website (which is being completely redesigned, by the way). Brian also said that he's all for passing the helmet during the THR races on the 10th. I plan on driving up for the Crazyhorse Dance if someone will give me directions on how to get to the Firehall. Regarding food. What about Joe, the guy who cooked up that amzaing BBQ for the Points Fund Benefit a week ago? Or the folks who cooked up that really good catfish for the THR banquet last fall.

GregGurley Posted April 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Thanks for the responses and ideas; keep them coming. I'll have a map and directions posted here shortly. If anyone knows how to get in touch with Joe, please contact him and see if he would be interested. That barbeque was fantastic! Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Hey Nick, The firehall is the same place we had the awards banquet at. You where there. Do you remember now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Kathy, I kinda do, but I don't remember things like what exit you take off I35 from San Antonio. Just need a refresher.. lol Nick Holt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickHolt Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 GUNDOG26, If you're not going to the Crazyhorse Dance & Fundraiser, you can always put some money into the helmet that will be passed around on Saturday, April 10th at THR. I am also trying to set up a deal with Security Service Federal Credit Union to provide a safe place to donate money. I will post the address as soon as I can work the deal with SSFCU. I would volunteer to collect the money, but all it takes is one donation to get lost in the mail and your good name is gone forever. So, hang on until we can get the credit union thing going. Thanks Nick Holt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast18 Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Nick, I live a couple of lots over from Shawn and Crystal....and about a mile and a half from the Fire Hall. If you or anyone else need directions I will be glad to help. I suppose Norm could also put a map on the THR website when he posts the fundraiser.

GB77 Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 IDEA! have those a few times..... Has abyone contacted Shawn's Dad or Junior to have his 5 car or 15 car at the track next Saturday so the iones that don't know him by name - but by car visual, would know. It would be cool to have it at the hall during the fundraiser too. So proud to be a part of such a great group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truck99 Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 I bet the car will be at the track on Saturday. Who knows, maybe Junior might even drive it! I bet if we all ask him real nicely, he might just be persuaded to dust off the driving suit. cs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junior Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 the car will be at the track for sure Sat but as far as dusting off the fire suit , it has not been gathering dust . there was just circumstances that that prevented it from being used last year. I can make the arrangments to have it at the dance also if it is the desire of the people promoting the affair. junior: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truck99 Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 that's what I'm talkin' about! It will be good to see you on the track Junior. I know if Shawn can't drive that car, he'd be happy for you to do it. cs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junior Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 I just got home from spending the afternoon with Shawn watching the race and he had a nice long conversation with Colt on the phone. They have taken all of the tubes and IV"s off to see how will do and started giving him something other than a liquid diet. They are having him get up and walk some but he is still sore and will be for sometime. Nothing decided about when he will get to go home but if it was up to him he would be out of there.

NickHolt Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 For anyone wanting to donate to the Shawn Paul Lehman fund, I have set up a special account at Security Service Federal Credit Union (one of the largest Credit Unions in the country). To donate, send a check or money order made out to Shawn Paul Lehman Special Fund and send to: SSFCU Shawn Paul Lehman Acct #4875560000 P.O. Box 691530 San Antonio, TX 78269-1510 Be sure to include the Account number in the address. If you have cash you want to donate, give it to me and I will write a check for that amount to the fund. See everyone Wednesday at the Firehall. Nick Holt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregGurley Posted April 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Here is the latest details: The Benefit Dance will be held at: The Manchaca Firehall Wednesday, April 7th 7:00pm Directions and map to the Firehall is above in a previous post. The Waddell Brothers will be playing. A donation/cover charge will be collected at the door. You can purchase all-you-can-eat Catfish dinners and there will be beer and soft drinks available. We will also be having a raffle or silent auction and some people will have racing parts for sale. All proceeds and donations will go to Shawn Lehman and his family. Nick Holt has set up a Special Fund for people to donate to. That information is above in a previous post. I don't have any other volunteers yet to help out. I know that someone will have Shawn's car there so I don't think we have to worry about that. We need volunteers to collect donations at the gate. We also need volunteers to work on the silent auction or some kind of raffle. If you want to donate an item bring it with you on Wednesday. I need someone to collect these items, set them up for display and come up with the best plan to raffle/auction them. This should not take up too much of your time and I'll help where I can. There were a lot of people wanting to help Shawn out and this is your chance. Please contact me by phone or PM me if you would like to help or you have items to donate.

Guest Mary Ann Naumann Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 We have been out of town since last Wednesday, Kim McKim & Dean Sandefur were keeping us updated as to Shawn Paul's accident & condition, I had no way to get this information to the TSRS email group list any sooner, we passed the information that we had to everyone we saw @ TMS and I sent it to the TSRS email group list this afternoon. He and his family have certainly been in our prayers and thoughts! Hope to see everyone there this Wednesday, Shawn Paul is such a giving, loving person and deserves our support. Now, this is what this website should be famous for, RACERS HELPING RACERS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobby74 Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 I will be there to help out my fellow racer and buddy but what are we looking at that is up for auction. I am a racers do dont have to much money but if it looks like some good stuff I might just have to wipe the dust off the check book and do some shopping ( oh wait I have allready done that to get that car ready) but hell I will still bring the check book. So what is up for auction if I might ask? waddy has some parts what about others. Jay simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregGurley Posted April 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Jay, We don't really have any details on the items for auction. Waddy is the only one I know that has parts. The rest of the items so far have been racing memorabilia. Bring your check book anyway and we'll help you out. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
