The Skeeter Beaters Foundation held their kickoff fundraising event for the
2009 Nets For The Amazon program at The Finish Line in Littleton, Colorado
in the midst of an icy blizzard.

Having been snowed out the week before on Wednesday March 26^th, the
rescheduled event got dumped on again. However, this time, organizers decided to
go ahead regardless. Thirty seven supporters braved the elements to take
part in the event.

Autographed sports memorabilia, autographed books, vintage comics,
original art, Air & Space Museum passes, truck accessories, and bath and body
products were among the many items donated for silent auction and raffle.

Funds raised at the event will go toward the Skeeter Beaters first shipment of insecticide
treated mosquito nets for the village of Soledad, Peru scheduled for delivery the
first week of May this year.

If you would like to contribute to our project or purchase a net to be delivered directly
to Peru, please contact:

The Skeeter Beaters Foundation is in need of volunteers to assist in organizing future
fundraising activities. We are planning a Musicians For Nets Night in the Chicago
area in May or June. We need assistance in getting donations and sponsors as well as
staffing at the event. If you are a member of a Civic, Church , or School Group your
help is needed. Please contact us if you would like to help. We can assist you and your
group in getting started.

Thanks to all of our supporters and friends! Your assistance and kindness will enable us
to implement our 2009 Nets For The Amazon Program.

Dennis Cline
Director

Our goal for 2008 was to ship approximately 5,000 insecticide treated mosquito nets
to the South Pacific to honor the service of the original Skeeter Beaters.
On March 23^rd, 2008, in partnership with Against Malaria Foundation and
Rotary Against Malaria, a total of 20,000 nets were shipped to the Abau Coastal
region of Papua, New Guinea for distribution in the Amazon Bay rural, Cloudy Bay rural,
and Aroma rural districts of southeast New Guinea. The Skeeter Beaters Foundation and
you were responsible for a total of 4,860 nets in this shipment.

THANK YOU to all of our supporters, donors, and friends who made this possible.

Post distribution photos and videos will be available online in July of this year at
www.againstmalaria.com/skeeterbeaters and can be accessed by clicking on the
flag icon to the right of any donation detail.
