Thanks Ed... this whole deal is kind'of'a labor of love... (From Chuck on Holiday Greetings from S Board.)
I did not want to take away from the wonderful Post from the Board on the Holiday Wishes for the Xmas Season. That is why I started a new thread. They all are very GRACIOUS, and I applaud them for that. With that said, when Chuck says this is a Labor of Love, it is the under-statement of the Year!! All of these incredible Board Members spend 100's & 100's of HOURS AND HOURS each year to make this site the most incredible Early 911 Information Site in the WORLD, and I said "THE WORLD" If someone knows of a better site, email me with the log in, and I would be "AMAZED", if it was even close. I have said for years, that the dues should be increased, so that all of these INCREDIBLE volunteers do not have to spend soooooooo muuuuuuch time to make this site what it is. Hiring of a full time Administration person would make all of their lives much easier, and insure that all of us will continue to benefit from all of the hours they will STILL spend to make this site the best in the "World"! I have stopped beating that drum, as it seems to fall on deaf ears for many in the group. I have accepted that decision. So, I am calling to all of you who think that this group of dedicated Early 911 folks who make up this board, deserve to spend more time on enjoying the Early Cars, and less time pulling time making sure someone is in the booth at each event to make sure you can buy a Hat or T-Shirt to cover some of the costs of this site and club, or to set up many of the yearly events. I know many of you do not have any extra money to put into the club, other than your regular dues, and that is okay. I also know, that many of you CAN AFFORD to put in extra money, and those are the folks I hope understand what I am talking about. All of these thoughts and questions come from me and no one else. Xmas is the time for giving, and I can not think of a better way to bring in the New Year than giving extra money to this great SITE!, if you can. There are over 2,000 who view this site, and there are only about 600 paid members :confused I would like to put out the challenge to raise an extra $18,000 this year, which is only and average of $30 more per year for each of the 600 currently paid members. I will be sending a check for $530, which will cover 17 of those members who can not afford another $30 for their membership. Who of you out there would also like to step up and help this FANTASTIC SITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
14 Gallons of gas at $3.00 plus per gallon, = $42.00!! Is it worth 1 tank of gas extra in dues this year to make sure this site continues to be the BEST SITE IN THE WORLD FOR EARLY LONG NOSE 911 CARS?????? I think the answer is OBVIOUS Merry Xmas to All.
