The Non-contributer may have problems that you haven't thought about.
I've had heart attacks, heart problems, by-pass surgery and haven't worked since Feb. 2005, and have zero income, duh.

No problem Von, we know you would if you could. I got you covered. Donation sent in your name, buddy. You get better.

You see there: It's precisely act like this which, not only bring hope to this society but, most definitely reinforce the solidarity of this place we know as the Creek! Bravo, Mark!

Stephen, welcome to SMC. Been here for 3 months and your first post is with a donation!!! Man, it just don't get any better than that! Well, maybe if you had some pics to share, it might be better! Thanks and we hope your stay here at the Creek is a pleasant one!

You are an inspiration Mark...You're a good man.

I've had my fair share of lifes ups and downs...but right now I sit here blessed with good health...a good job...a wonderful wife...a great life. So in honor of your inspiration Mark...when I get home I'm sending an additional contribution of $36.00 for 6 members who may be experiencing bad times.

Very generous Glenn!!!!!!!!!!

I'd also like to make a donation in the name of another member. Mike Williams in Dublin sent me some stuff that saved me a ton of time. I won't go into the details so he doesn't get bombarded with requests but suffice it to say that I became the beneficiary of his hard work. He won't accept payment or gifts so I'd like to show my gratitude with a $20 donation to the Creek in his name. Thanks Mike.

Looks like maybe I started a trend.

Wtg guys.

Looks like maybe I started a trend.

I’ve had my share of easy times and hard, and I’ll soon contribute in this same spirit.
Thanks Mark, this is what The Creek is all about.

Hope paypal works. This site is worth more than my magazine subscriptions, plus, the company is pretty good, too.

[Frank Pellow]

Keith, you say that 25% membership is a good goal and, with this objective in mind, suggest a donation of $6.

My guess is that at least half our 8,000 members are inactive. With this in mind, I would suggest at least $12 and then would round that up to $15.

Just what percentage of our membership has contributed something in 2006?

If you were to periodicly publish the total number of people who have contributed in 2006 and the total contributions, I think that it would encourage folks to donate.

[Jim Becker]

Frank, I think the six dollar suggestion is a good one--the equivalent of one venti latte and donut at StarBucks. There are many folks who give a lot more and some who would contribute if they could. I don't think the "suggested donation" should be more than ten dollars at any rate...
