[s-cars] S-CAR Nationals Cancelled... but wait, there is more!

[Achint Sandhu]

Great to hear that there is so much enthusiasm with regards to this.

If Darin can provide the $ number we can divide by the list population and go
from there.

The $20 was simply a suggestion. Higher donations are always welcome I'm sure,
but I think if everyone kicked in atleast $20 we'd be ok....

The current membership of the s-car-list (according to yahoogroups) is 551.
Given a $20 donation each that lands the total donation at: $11,020. Assuming
that most people participate this should land us near that original number
that Darin posted, which was $10,000 (if memory serves me right)

That was essentially the rationale behind the $20 number....

Cheers,
Achint
