Just wondering how this got started. Issue 150 is the first we've heard of this. Must be a secret affair.
Would appreciate if some one would enlighten the rest of us what this is all about. If we don't know , we can't contribute!!

Hi, Bill Walter.
Something like this was suggested some years ago by a then prominent and VERY helpful member of the club and the BB. The idea was rubbished vehemently by ONE person - whom I don't think was even financial in the club - and that member's character and motives so disparaged and questioned that the member left the club and the BB for a couple of years.

The sad parts about this earlier situation are that;

a. The club missed out on that member's VERY generous donation offer plus any others that may have come forth.

b. The person who did the character assassination was NEVER held to account for it.

Let us hope that NEVER happens again.

Just my 0.02.

there's a link above under membership that provides for donations---I have been donating for a few years---this has been discussed many times under the guest member thread

But!!! That still does not answer my question as to why this DONOR WALL showed up with no explanation. I feel that some one on the Board should write us all an explanation as to how it got started and why some Good Folks contributed and others had no knowledge of it what so ever. I guess I have a suspicious mind. I just can not believe that something like that was started and no explanation as to what it is for being used for.

There is nothing sinister about the appearance of the Donor Wall in the magazine, the BoD is always trying to improve on the way things are done, it is only right and proper that we acknowledge our donors, as such this is the start of that process.

We are very happy for people to become donors and will acknowledge same, those that wish to stay anonymous will remain as such with their donation listed as anonymous with the amount of the donation.

Kind regards, Neil Clydsdale
