As soon as I get another paycheck or two, I'll be donating. Being a new homeowner, having things like the furnace go out, car repairs, buying a lawn mower (since I don't have one), and paying bills take my money lately and thats why I work 50+ hours a week. I'm not some scrooge who ignores it---my shop is sponsoring a Relay for Life for cancer research funding. Our dealership alone has raised quite a bit of money for it.
Yes Eric, this IS a message board - but it's a message board FOR a club. I've helped numerous members on here and they have helped me. I don't make it too meetings myself because I am way the fuck out in Lansing, and Thursday night romps to the metro area are rough when I am up for work at 5:45 the next morning getting ready for work.
I do think what was said WAS out of line, not everyone can participate at a moments notice. So just because not everyone can show up to ONE event means everyone is a self indulgent prick... Some of us just have to do what we can from where we are with a hope and a prayer.
