Very Important Please Read

I am writing this letter to a bunch of Vivid Racing's close friends,
customers, and family. One of our long time employees Lauren Genduso
experienced a severe loss last week and we would like to do something to
help her. Her mother was killed in a traffic accident on 1/15/03. Lauren
has been with Vivid Racing for almost 3 years and has helped us get where
we are today. If you are not sure which one she is, she usually handles your
billing or order information, not to mention the only girl here.
Unfortunately her mother did not have life insurance. Her 2 brothers and
sister are now responsible for the expenses that must be handled. Since
this is a tough time for anyone, we are trying to help her costs by
assisting her with donations. Rob and myself will be donating some as well.
If you would like to donate some money as any amount can help, you can send
a check to Lauren Genduso at the address below, or www.paypal.com to
dan@vividracing.com with the word DONATION in the title and we will foward
it to her. Here is a link to the local paper that covered the accident
http://www.azcentral.com/news/articl...6101crash.html
She will be back to work probably this coming week if you would like to
send
any cards or flowers, please do so to our work address here:

Lauren Genduso
Vivid Racing
1745 S. Holbrook Lane
Tempe, AZ 85281

Any amount helps...$2 and or your email thoughts. We assure you the favor will be returned.

Thank you

Vivid Racing

WOW...I just read the story. Please tell Lauren that she has the sympathies of Internal Response Of Illinois and that we hope she and her brothers will find the help they need. I will personally be speaking to the President of the club and I will see if we can get something together for her and her family. Please let us know if there is anything we can do.

To help Lauren's family, we'd like to setup a banner on the main page to attract attention. Would anyone on here care to lend their skills to make a tribute banner for the main page? It needs to be 520x210.

Nice to hear that she will be able to see all of this....I'd be willing to bet that most of the people that will post here will be doing it out of the kindness of their hearts and they don't even know Lauren. I myself have never talked to her...yet I wish to express my sincerest condolences for her and her families loss.
