Will someone that not an alumni will be able to buy one. I would love to get two for my granddaughter.

 

[TerryP]

I'm sure you can Rickey...I suspect it's no different from the pavers you could buy just outside of the Ferg. It looks to me like you can just leave the class year and school blank and it'll take you directly to the page you pay at...

I got one. The only info you have to put are the lines with the asterisks.

It's actually more of a rental since it is only good until May 2014. Not that this is a bad thing but just so everyone is aware of that fact.

FOR ONLY FIVE DOLLARS:

• You can own one of the 108,000 bricks of Denny Chimes.
• View your brick any time, anywhere, on our virtual rendering.
• You’ll receive a deed to your brick that gives you ownership until May 31, 2014.
• Every dollar donated to the CHIME IN fund will be used to provide funding through the general scholarship fund.

Pretty cool. Donated twice. Two bricks.

Youll have a hard time seeing your "actual" brick Silver! Lol It's a little high. Virtual thing is cool though. Cost the school nothing but a little application development to bring in some good scholarship money.

I shoulda contributed earlier and gotten a lower brick. LOL. In any case, next year during my visit on game weekend, I fully intend on going to Denny Chimes, locating that real brick with my zoom lens and getting a pic, even though I won't own it by then. LOL.

 

[bamaraider]

Donated.

 

[bama alum]

Mine is a tad high up there too.

Or, like a membership to say a gym, it's something you'll be able to renew next spring?

550K into the GSF is a good thing and I suspect it's needed. Across the board, largely dependent on the amount of GSF endowments, the return for the last fiscal year was bad. Off the top of my head it seems like I recall the median average was a loss of .03%. Compared to the previous fiscal year (2012) that's a HUGE drop off. Most schools reported about a 20% gain for '12.

This is better than having a virtual pet, because you don't have to feed a virtual brick.

 

[doemasters]

i thought you told me i had to feed it, i have been worrying myself to death :shake:

 

[Kirk Van de Graaff]

I am gonna buy me a scaffold and clean my brick.

I'm gonna throw my brick through Bill Curry's living room window.

I'm gonna throw my brick through Bill Curry's living room window.
