[cool][#0000ff]We do not want participation to be a financial burden on any volunteers. Haven't yet worked out how to handle expenses, but there should not be that much if we keep things local. I think most of us consider our costs to be just a good investment in helping others, but if we have budget problems of our own, then we have to face reality. We should not compromise our own economic survival if we don't have to. And, times are tough these days.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]For the most part, people who want to attend will be responsible for getting themselves to meetings or fishing trips. But, like you said, some of the seniors have both transportation and financial limitations. But, I am sure that if we find someone who has a problem with participation we can find a way to take care of them.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]In short, don't worry about having to lay out a lot of cash. Your presence and support at the meetings and on the water will mean far more to those we have in the program.[/#0000ff]
