Ah yes we do have a treasurer, but we don't have any treasure. There's no account or anything. We haven't solicited donations and we don't ask for dues. We're not a registered non-profit. I thinking chipping in to buy a new drive would be a great idea. Might be a good idea to open the offical TCLUG account, maybe then we could have enough cash to rent a place for our installfest, etc. Since we're not registered as a non-profit, I don't think anyone would be able to (legally) deduct their donations. ~j > > > > Third, the drive replacement is going out of Real Time's bottom line. > > I for one totally appreciate Real Time, and in perticular Bob's personal > efforts on behalf of the LUG.
