In addition, the letter described the following items that the $20,000 donation and moral support provided:

• Temporary Housing
• Auto Rental
• Residential Clean-Up
• General Living Expenses
• Food
• Clothing
• Funeral costs for the dear spouse of one of KMT’s team members
• And last but not least, HOPE IN THE HUMAN SPIRIT

In closing, the letter read, “words alone really cannot describe how thankful our whole team is to you and others that may have also helped you with your support.”

Also enclosed in the letter were copies of personal notes from those people directly effected by the Joplin Tornado. Please see the following attachment to read the full letter and personal notes: Personal KMT Thank You Notes

“We Love Joplin” Tornado Relief Fund: Grand Total Check Presentation

Dear Friends,

As most of you know, on July 2^nd, 2011 The Jernigan Foundation with the help of Diamond Technologies, Inc., H2O Jet and many caring volunteers held a Benefit Concert in hopes of raising money for our friends at KMT left victim to the Joplin, Missouri Tornado.

Today I am proud to announce that we have raised a total of $7,800.00 with donations at the event, t-shirt sales, raffle tickets and online donations!!!

In addition, H2O Jet generously contributed the remaining amount to reach the $10,000.00 mark.

After matching the total $10,000.00 raised, The Jernigan Foundation is honored to present the KMT families affected by the Joplin Tornado with a giant check for a grand total of $20,000.00!!!!

 

 

 

We are all amazed and humbled at the amount of generous friends, family and even strangers who contributed their time, money and musical talents in support of this cause. Just a few weeks ago this event was nothing but a small idea from a concerned individual who thought we should do something to help. Not only did that idea raise $20,000.00 to help pick up the pieces of this terrible natural disaster, but it also brought a community of people from many walks of life together for a wonderful day of music, food and fun!

We would like to again thank everyone for your  generous support for this event, as our incredible results would not have been possible without it!!

Ruby/Sapphire Orifices vs. Diamonds

There is a common misconception in the water jet world that sapphire and ruby orifices are cheaper than diamonds. But in the long run, diamonds are actually less expensive due to reduced downtime and costs due to blown sapphire and ruby orifices. Click here  for the true costs. Please rest assured, the facts speak for themselves.  (Thank you RPT for doing all the number crunching)
