Very generous Glenn!!!!!!!!!!Originally Posted by Glenn Clabo
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.

I’ve had my share of easy times and hard, and I’ll soon contribute in this same spirit.Originally Posted by Mark Rios
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.
"God does not deduct from a man's lifespan the time spent fishing."
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.
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...
