you can mail donations(check or m.o.) to:

3S NG

Paypal lori@loriknits.com

Please note if it is a donation, so they don't waste time trying to figure out if you are a registrant or simply making a donation.

Perhaps this is not allowed, but I am going to try it anyhow - feel free to delete or whatever you need to do.

I believe we need to keep the National Gatherings going. Alan has stated that we won't be having them again if this year doesn't break even.

.

Currently, according to his post, we need a significant number of registrations to get up to that "break even" point.

I propose that individuals on 3si who have any spare money to donate make a donation to Alan to help out with the cost.

He and Lori (its Lori right? Sorry, if I am incorrect) have done so much for the website, national gatherings, etc past and present for us not to do our part to keep things rolling smoothly.

As far as collecting donations, I assume Alan has a paypal or something we can send them to, that way nobody is responsible for getting them to him. So, if this is allowed per forum rules (which I have not read

), Alan can you tell us the best way to get you this money?

Anything truely does help, though I do understand that money is tight around these times.

I am going to donate $20.. which, though not a lot, if combined with $5, $10, $20, etc donations from other members, we should be able to drastically reduce the necessary registrations.

Lets keep NG10 alive!

This is perfectly acceptable. Lori or Alan will advise the paypal address.

I was thinking about this when I read that urgent thread a couple days back. I'm curious how much it will take to break even. I have a hard time donating if in the end they are still short and I don't live to see a NG

Will we even know before this years NG happens how much is needed?

Well, at the same time though.. even say we don't have a NG next year, we need to do our part to help Alan out, Because if they don't break even, this puts financial stress on them personally, no? So anything we can do to even mitigate that is helpful!

Good idea but another (and more fun way) to help out is to just go. If you haven't been before you don't know what you're missing and if you have I'm sure I don't have to tell you it's worth doing whatever you need to make it happen.
