OK, guys, time to put up or shut up. 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.
If you can only send $1, send that, but we need to get off our backsides and get this done. This is a test of whether we are a genuine community or not.
