sobo Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Eric Simonson will be giving a presentation on his team's research of the Mallory-Irvine North Ridge Everest expedition of 1924. The event is a fundraiser for Central Washington Mountain Rescue so we can buy a new truck for the unit (we're getting a deal from local auto sales outfits, but it's still not cheap). The event is at the Capitol Theater in Yakima on May 22 at 7:00 pm. If anyone's around this way then, please drop on in and help us get the new rig by buying a ticket or two. Tickets are $12, or $14 at the door, and are available at the following locations: Hyperspud & Sporthaus, Yakima REI, Kennewick Arlberg Sports, Wenatchee Mountain High, Ellensburg All proceeds after expenses go to the unit towards the purchase of a new rig. Eric will hang out afterwards for a booksigning ( Ghosts of Everest and Detectives of Everest ) I know it's a long haul for you Westsiders, but I hope some of you Eastsiders can make it.

iain Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 definitely money going to a good cause, but doesn't Simonsen ever get sick of talking about that thing? seems like he's been at it for a few years now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbw1966 Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 He has. And listening to him talk immediately brings to mind thoughts of what all that hypoxia might have done to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were looking for someone or something that would have a good crowd draw, material that was already prepared or would be easy to prepare so we could go to ad quickly, and was within the financial ability of our target audience. Eric's show fit the criteria, and was a major reason of why we got him. He asked very little of CWMR in return, which was an extra perk. I know that I'll be attending. I hope some of you all can, too. ...sobo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobo Posted May 21, 2003 Author Share Posted May 21, 2003 Last time to the top for this. Show's tomorrow night. Tickets: $14 at the door, if ya haven't already got one. We've got all our expenses covered now (~$2,000), so every ticket sale is pure profit towards the new vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
