I'm part of the early $600 and just decided to donate more. I've already gotten way more in value than what I've paid - so no need to refund anything regardless of the outcome.

Best,

I think it is shameful if a guy spends $125 a month out of his own pocket to provide a resource for the community, then when a disaster strikes has to look at nearly a $2,500 hit with only $600 in contributions. I have just sent $600 to match the contributions made up to today. I challenge every serious memeber of this community to contribute at least something. I know we are not millionaires here, but I have to believe there are another 6 members who can afford $100 each, and several hundred who can afford $20 each. Do without that Starbucks for a couple of weeks. Or maybe buy one less frame this year. I've spent a lot more than $600 bucks the past year on bikes and parts, in fact often more than that in one month. I needed that stuff less than we need to support the guys who support our community.
