Dear WNBA owners,

We are very excited that a group of local women – Force 10 Hoops – has secured an exclusive option to purchase the Seattle Storm so that the team can stay in Seattle. When the news was announced people all across the state cheered. Kids, grandparents, fans who never miss a game and even many who have never been to a game all reacted the same way – this is great news for Seattle!

We are among the thousands of loyal Storm fans who will come together and support this team even more than we have before. We applaud the women of Force 10 Hoops for their commitment to our community. We know they appreciate what a special part of the fabric of the Pacific Northwest the Storm is and how the players exemplify what it means to be top notch athletes, wonderful citizens, and great role models.

We are all signing this letter to let you know the WNBA and the Storm can count on our unwavering support. Since the day of the announcement, season ticket holders and new fans alike have been showing their commitment by buying or renewing season tickets and buying ticket packages for the 2008 season. And, we plan to get all our friends, families and co-workers to help us pack the house on May 17 for Opening Night.

Thank you for supporting the new ownership group. We think Storm fans are the best in the League – vote ‘Yes’ and we will do the rest!

1064 JenniferFreyThank you to everyone who made this possible. The Seattle Storm has become an important part of our community. When I volunteered as a mentor for the YWCA Leaders In Progress program I witnessed the affect of Seattle Storm role models on young female athletes. The Storm keeps dreams alive in our youth. When I go to games I am suprised by the number of young boys in the audience in full Storm gear anxious for an autograph just like all the young girls. It is not just a girl thing... the Storm have inspired one and all while making a positive contribution to our community. Thank you again for helping to save our Storm.
1065 TheressiaHazelmyerThank you!

1071 JKlockIt is vitally important to have women step forward with courage and compassion. Force Hoops 10 has taken a leap and will be rewarded by the Washington State community. I hope that the WNBA will have the courage to stand with these women and begin a new era in womens' sports ownership.

1075 LeslieHeflinI'm presently in New Delhi, India, having just completed my second of 2 major surgeries. I was Sooo excited to learn of the selling of my beloved Storm, and that the team will be staying in Seattle. I had signed papers, sent letters, and then had no internet access for awhile. Amazing what happens when you aren't on line! I can't express the sparkle this news has added to my life.

1077 MonicaLundbergRight on! Thanks for advocating for women's professional sports!
1078 LoisFrischWOW! All this and Swin Cash too. Go Storm! Thank you to Force 10 for keeping our team in Seattle.
1079 AllysonHughesI strongly support this sale as a supporter of the Storm and Professional Women' s Sports in this and all areas. I supported the Rain when it was here and I am more inclined to further support the Storm with this local women's ownership. That is a commitment to me that I am willing to return.

1085 ChaffieMcKennaI am excited to see the Storm stay in Seattle, i love them, and have enjoyed going to several games over tha last year myself. I look forward to the opportunity to continue to support the Storm and attend as many games as possible in the upcoming 2008 season!
1086 ShanaDenny-RotermundGo Storm... I was there for the championship season and the arena was so full of excitement and cheer. What an experience, what a ride, and what an impact on the fans, the community, the players and for women, to show the women can do it...after 26 years of drought for championships. I am excited to see that a group of women from out community, stepped foward to save our beloved team... Please vote to allow force 10 hoops to purchase the team and therefore keept the storm in seattle. Thank you for your consideration.

1089 CoralieJanssenI was a season ticket holder with Aggie Clark since the beginning -- recently moved to Chicago. Looks like I'm going to miss a great season.

1093 LynnFelipeI love the Storm. My first game was a gift from some friends back in 2004 and I've been a fan ever since. I love all the good clean energy and the children engaged in cheering for their team at the arena. What a wonderful, affordable family outing. Go Storm in 2008. Thanks so much to the four beautiful women who had the courage to step up and keep this team in Seattle. Many are greatful.

1095 CarolynIsomTHANK YOU!!!! WOW I'm super excited.
1096 Thereseand SandyWe've been season tickets holders from the beginning. Even though we are moving to Colorado and will miss this season, the Seattle Storm will always hold a special place in our hearts.
1097 ReneeEngdahlI have two daughter's who are 13 & 11. Both of them have been playing B-ball for the last 5 years. It is so great to have a local pro team to follow. It's very exciting to have an all-woman ownership group they can look up to. This is a FANtastick time to be a STORM fan!
1098 GeoffreySammonsI support Force 10 and local ownership for the Seattle Storm!
1099 RichardCoatesThis is the best news I could have had this year. Living in England means I don't get to too many games. I can't make it over this season, but I'll be over in 2009 knowing that the Storm will still be at my beloved Key Arena.
1100 S. R.WeinheimerThis is terrific news. I will be supporting the team by attending as many games as possible.
