Your million dollar Kiva pledge

YOUR MILLION DOLLAR KIVA PLEDGE
Several MilePoint Kiva team members are now starting to make their million dollar pledge - and some have also made other pledges for when we reach a certain total loan amount on Kiva.

There are also pledges being made for reaching $2M, and for the second Money Bomb!

OTHER PLEDGES
In addition to the above pledges,

• miles and smiles will howl at the moon when we reach $1M! Tickets will start at $100 in new loans just to get within hearing range. Probably $1000 in new loans for front row seating.
• For each person who follows FrequentMiler on Twitter and re-tweets one of his posts, he'll make a Kiva loan. You can find him on Twitter: http://twitter.com/FrequentMiler
• iolaire will invest $1,000 in new money for each of the next FIVE people who invest $1,000 (or more) in new money to Kiva. See this post for rules. (all done!)
• kiwi will add an extra loan for each MP team member who pledges 1 or more extra loans at $1M
• canucklehead will loan $100 extra in honor of each newborn baby as soon as the announcements of his brother plus a fellow MP'er are made! (+1) ($300)
• milchap is expecting a new grandson in November and will pledge $100 in his honor.
• aussieflyer will loan $25 when we hit $100k in pledges.
• If MP team passes $1 million lent by 31 December 2011 kiwi will loan an extra $1,000
• if we hit $1M by the end of the year, FrequentMiler will lend $1000
  If we hit $1M by the end of Nov, FrequentMIler will lend $1500
  If we hit $1M by Thanksgiving day, FrequentMiler will lend $2000
• To celebrate his birthday this month, Horseguy will loan an extra $100 at each multiple of $10,000 the team passes this month.

HOW DO I REGISTER MY PLEDGE?
Post your pledge in this thread and I will add it to the spreadsheet below or the list above. We have room for a lot more! Please remember that it's not the amount that counts - it's your participation.

We currently have $1M pledges for $103,285 - have you made your pledge yet? Please join us and have fun!

I will watch happilt as miles and smiles howls. It should be a good spectator event.
We all must remember taht we must get to $500,000 before we get to $1,000,000. So, I will also lend an additional $5,000 when we reach $500,000, as well as attend the DO!

Maybe I should charge admission to my howl.
Considering what a special event it will be, tickets will start at $100 in new loans just to get within hearing range.
probably $1000 for front row seating.
I hope I have a few full moons for practice before we hit $1,000,000 in loans. I may have to practice at the new moon, too.

Here's an idea to try to get us up to $1M faster. I recently signed up for Twitter and I'd love to build up my network, so how about this:

For each person who follows me on Twitter and re-tweets one of my posts, I'll make a Kiva loan. You can find me here on Twitter: http://twitter.com/FrequentMiler

and hopefully I'll see you on Twitter too!

Update: I am now also accepting liking me on Facebook as a reason to add another loan. And, yes, you can "double dip"

Note: depending on how my finances go, and how well this incentive works, I may have to stop (or pause) the offer at 600 loans.

I'll lend $500 at $500,000 and another $500 at $1,000,000.

Now that is an excellent idea! Nime01, please put me down for $5000 at the half million point.

I'm sure many of us will pay a premium to hear you howl, miles and smiles

First post is updated. Keep posting your pledges, and I'll add them to the first post!

Done!

BTW, I love how you have formatted this! I am also glad you are keeping track of "other pledges." Way to go!

Please consider yourself electronically high fived!

I'm following you! Just need to retweet you.

I will lend an extra $200 @ $500 000 and $400 @ $1 000 000

Thanks for making your pledges, they are added to the first post
We're now at $62,400!

At $1 million I will loan an additional $500.

Put me down for another $25 so I'm pledging $75 when we make it to one million.

I'll match your $75 at 1mil.

Fantastic!

First post updated. Now standing at $63k.

Put me in for $250 at $500,000. That is in addition to my pledge at $1,000,000.

I'll do an extra $250 for every $100,000, starting at $300,000.

Wow! Horseguy started a pledge-a-thon, didn't he? Thanks to Horseguy for getting us going with lots of pledges. Thanks to everyone, including those I have missed here, for making these wonderful pledges!
Will we make $300,000 still this month to get wijomas started with pledge deliveries? I hope so!

Followed and RT'd!
