Well, it's the first on the topic list. Paul's got some good ideas regarding this, anyone else got some? Some thoughts... I'm sure we could come up with some container that would keep money in during a gust of wind. Donations could be made right at the PAP. Also, any reason we couldn't have the same windproof container at the SAC meetings? Also, who would be willing to handle this funding? Jack has been handling the PAP, but I don't want to assume that he would be willing to deal with this too. Besides, Steve did bring it up.... :-) And how far do we take it? Do we give out reciepts or keep track of who gave what? Do we get 5~6 people to donate the funding first and then redistribute any "point of deposit" (sorry) donations evenly amongst those 5~6? Obviously, this will work better if the event has plenty of prior notice. A couple of weeks seems to be a bit short notice, but if there are several people willing to reliably donate on short notice, and then recoup the "donations", this might be quite doable. Any others?
