Re: [ranchos] "Ranchos Support Fund"

Joseph,
If all are in agreement I think this is a good idea. You can count me for a $25 pledge.

For now we are over a hundred members strong. I would like to run
something past you that is open for discussion. Would anyone object to
having a completely optional "Ranchos Support Fund"?

I was thinking if a few of us sent in a few buck we might be able to
have $100 stipends available to send off to members that are in need or
for projects that are supportive of the Ranchos Group. This effort would
need a volunteer "use" committee which would have at least 3 members (no
ties) and one of those would be a treasurer to hold the funds. Before
the "use" committee would decide on a "use" they would bring up the use
for group discussion. but after the discussion the decision for the use
would be made by the committee.

If this is something that you all would consider going forward on then I
would like to nominate Kitty Cortez to be one of the committee members
and possibly the Treasurer. Also I would like to pledge $25 to start the
contributions.

But all that is premature if you all think this is not something worthwhile.

what say ye?
