Off topic, but more important than most

Just over a year ago, my sister’s fiance lost his battle with cancer. Obviously, it was a highly emotional time for her, as well as for both extended families. My sister, not being one to take things lying down, took part in the Jimmy Fund’s annual walkathon, raising about $1000 for cancer research. She’s participating in it again this year and I figured the least I could do, aside from donating, was to reach out to those of you who read this blog and ask that you donate as well. If the plugin I use is even only partially accurate, then just $10 from each you would raise over $10,000.
It would mean a lot to her, and me, if you could help out. Please go to her walkathon page and give what you can.

Thank you,
Jeff

About Jeff's Tool Shed

While most of what I write will be about SolidWorks, or partner products, from time to time I've been known to go off on random rants about whatever crosses my mind.

Legal B.S.: The thoughts, opinions and commentary posted on Jeff's Tool Shed are mine and mine only. I speak only for myself and no other person(s) or entities, real or imagined.

To satisfy (I hope) FTC disclosure rules: I am provided with non-commercially licensed software and hardware for review by many companies, including Dassault Systemes. (Duh, this is a review blog) While reviewing said software and hardware, I am in contact with employees of the companies providing products involved and, occasionally, asked for feedback (again, it is a review blog). I am not compensated for any of this. DS SolidWorks Corporation has paid for my travel, accommodations, and some meals for various user group events including SolidWorks World.

Questions, comments or complaints can be posted in the 'comments' section of each post or you can email me directly. Thanks for reading!
