"Forum's Fund" update

Dear all, I will post next the week a current accounting of the Forum’s Fund.

In the meantime, it should suffice to say that as of today we have $150

The amount on hand, as of my last accounting, was $26 and was handsomely increased by a few members choosing again to contribute more generously than the $3 recommended donation. I will proudly report their names and contributions, next week (when I finally return to NY).

One impressive and praiseworthy donation comes from our Simon, who devolved $50 today, representing proceeds from his “El Guitarrero”.

I will contribute a matching sum to honor Simon’s magnanimous gesture, and am therefore pleased to report that we now have $200 available in the Form's Fund, to purchase prizes for the Forum’s competitions.

Thank you all for your generosity and support.
Dearly,
gj

Well, not all the proceeds - it's done a bit better than that. It's just this week's sales

Thanks gj for matching it and everyone who contributed.

I bought a Guitarrero video a few days ago. I'm glad to help support the foro
and am looking forward to a cool documentary.

Not sure how "cool" you'll find it but it has been enjoyed by many. It will be in the post this weekend. Thanks for your support.
