I added up the associate, limited and general membership of CSS and came up with 355. I believe there’s been about $10K or so raised towards a new shade structure leaving $48K unfunded. If you divide $48K by 355 you get just $135 per person. Of course not all can afford or would even be willing to give that much, but if a bunch of us put up just another 200 bucks each, we’d probably have enough. That’s like three nights in a cheap motel; 27 Happy Meals; less than ¼ of the cost of a new Flytec 6030 (okay forget that last one – it’s not good incentive). Heck, you probably waste that much at Starbucks in a month. My point is you can probably find a way to come up with that much dough if you just show a little discipline somewhere else in your budget.

I know not every one was happy with the vote. It wasn’t my first choice. But heh… it’s a cool building and we take part in the coolest sport devised by man at one of the best spots on the earth. Shouldn’t we have a cool building?

Please think about it my flying friends.

I’ll put my wallet where my mouth is.

Anyone else?
