Re: [ranchos] "Ranchos Support Fund"

I see what you're saying.

sure if the interested members want to put their names in to be considered for membership to the "support committee" that would be fine. after we get at least 3 persons interested we can take a vote.

Joseph,

 

This is a tough one for us to call being that very few members have ever met each other and for the most part all we know about each other is that we are Mexican Ancestry Researchers. We also know that we like to eat Capirotada, Nopales and Mole. We know that some speak and read spanish better than others and that some speak no spanish at all but can read it. We know that some are better at doing their research and some of us are slower than others.

 

So what do you think we can deduce from this data in terms of managing money, having good judgement regarding financial needs, accounting and money distribution.

 

Could we possibly ask the members who might be interested to submit a brief bio to tell us what their qualifications are and then we can take a vote. Some people have worked managing money and people. Some people have not worked in finance but have done a good job managing families, money and making monetary decisions regarding their families. I would think that a good 50% of the Ranchos members would be qualified for this role and that mostly what we need is a few good volunteers and most of us would agree.

Well there hasn't been any other nominations for the Support Fund
committee. I'm not going to go through with this without at least 3
members on the committee. I'll wait another 2 weeks and we'll have to
abandon the idea then if no nominations come forth because I'm not going
to do this because of conflict of interest.

it has been very nice and i want to thank all the members willing to
monetarily support this potential project.

thanks,

joseph
