    I think Frank's got the idea, 'cause I'm not sure $20 is even going
    to come close.  Most of us can certainly afford more than $20, we just
    need some facts and can figure from there.

    Earlier this year, some of us kicked in a contribution via PayPal
    to support the list and the S-Car org operation.  I never heard
    any feedback from Darin about how many people participated in that.

    If we are going to run a 'Nationals Support' campaign, I think it
    would be reasonable to know what the target is that we are shooting
    to achieve, and we also ought to know what the running total is of
    donations.

    Even better, I'd suggest a web page with an easy URL, that shows
    specific unreimbursed expenses totaling to the target, and a running
    total of donations to date.  The total of donations might also include
    an anonymous count of people making donations so we can get some idea
    if a significant percentage of listers are stepping up to the plate.

    Doing a support campaign like this could encourage more complete
    participation by everyone on the list.  How about some discussion
    on what to do, and how to do it?

    Wow!  A genuwine clean-out-the-garage effort!  Boy, does mine need
    something like this too!  Do we have to confine ourselves to Audi parts?
