[at-l] Another Fund Raiser Option



I agree.

Fundraising at RUCKs began with the PARUCK, seeking funds to help 
maintenance and care for the IronMasters Mansion. There have been raffles 
and such.

We made fund raising a bit more formal last year at Camp Thornwell. I 
passed a can for Polio Eradication during Saturday Breakfast, clearing $32 
given to Polio Plus. We had a gear sale, with proceeds going to something. 
The same something was funded with $3 for Saturday lunch.

The meals at the SORUCKs have been largely Southern Pot Luck / Covered Dish 
supper affairs. I've kept the blueberry pancake thing going, at least as 
the first "tradition" of the SORUCK. I am not a vendor or anyone with a 
financial interest in the AT. I'd be glad to allow some vendor to sponsor 
it, but I'd hate to give up the fun of planning and cooking - and sitting 
on my ass for the rest of the weekend.

I would prefer that we didn't do a fund raiser. I'd prefer that the gear 
table would be freebie gear for someone who wants the heavy antiquated 
stuff from our gear closets. I don't expect any vendors to donate their 
income to a SORUCK charity fund.

I like it simple. But it has gotten bigger than simple.

I defer to those working and organizing this affair.
