    I’d look for something easy to find, near a reference point. Otherwise, it’s just another brick in the floor. (Apologies to Syd and crew)

    The donation has been made! A proof of the brick is supposed to be sent shortly - I’ll share it here when I get it!

    Thank you everyone for your support!

    Unless you've unsubscribed from such alerts ;)

    Thanks for the nudge @Jim K

    And now each August, PoA will get a wave of newbies. This will be ... interesting.

    How about a banner for the contributors? Like the Poa Supporter banner. Poa Brickhead ???

    there could also be a banner for people who expressed interest but didn't pull the trigger...

    Bro do you even lift
    Would it be considered Stolen Valor if non contributors went to OSH and took a quick pic at the brick with a chick using a selfie stick?

    Anyone got a vector of the logo around? It is looking a little jaggedy at the edges there. And the 2 left lights of the VASI would look better as outlines instead of filled in black.

    I looked for the link to contribute for brick. I’m guessing it’s down because you’re fully funded?

    Correct. If you’d still like to make a contribution, I can open it back up and it will go towards the site upkeep!

    I heard back from the EAA and their response regarding the change of image is as follows -

    “I checked with our engraver and they said unfortunately the updated image below will not work. It will not turn out when sandblasted into the brick as the lines are too thin.”

    So, it appears we will need to stick with the original proof as listed above.
