Massachusetts Benefit
All, please save the date Saturday, June 7, 2008, as the tenative benefit in Massachusetts to raise money for the Radford U. scholarship in Nathan's name. People of all ages will be welcome!
We are working on all details, such as specific venue, and I'll post as more details are available.
We likely will have activities such as card games, a putting competition, some sort of basketball competition, root beer pong tournament (kid-friendly!), and other activities that Nathan enjoyed.
Obviously, we'd like to raise as much money as possible for the scholarship, and in order to do so, we're looking for donations of all kinds: food, drinks, or utensils; items to put up for silent auction or raffle; DJ and DJ equipment; and/or people's time to work booths, set up, and clean up. Please contact me if you are able to donate any of these or if you have other ideas (lindsay.marti@yahoo.com).

Preliminary Hearing
The preliminary hearing on Monday went as well as it could have. He hasn't pleaded yet; they were just establishing whether there is probable cause to prove that he committed involuntary aggravated manslaughter, which has a possible maximum sentence of 20 years (it's only 10 if it's not "aggravated"), and the judge determined in our favor.
Now the case will go before the grand jury in August (date TBD). That is a closed hearing, where the public doesn't attend, and the grand jury determines whether it will go to trial. That is basically a formality, and our attorney estimates the trial would occur in October. At that time, we will find out how the guy will plead.

Scholarship
I am helping set up a Radford University scholarship in Nathan's name.
Right now, the scholarship is in the very beginning stages, and we will be working on it within the next couple of months.
I've been talking to one of Nathan's friends regarding setting up an annual benefit in his name that will be held in Massachusetts. We expect that it will occur around the anniversary of his crash in June every year.
We will also send out letters to all whose home addresses we have so that we can ask for donations for the scholarship.
We will be making bumper stickers, t-shirts, and bracelets in remembrance of Nathan this year, but have yet to decide if we will sell them or give them to people based on donation amounts.
I expect that once we have all of this information, we will include it in the letter we send, which is why getting people's contact information is so very important.
Please send your email address and home address to me at lindsay.marti@yahoo.com. Please do not contact me to find out how to get bumper stickers, t-shirts, etc. We will contact you regarding this information.
Thanks.
