And I do commend the altruism going on. However, Dan had also better be looking hard, I mean real hard at what caused the need for a desperation appeal to begin with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman1084 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Yikes... I guess that $20k donation was in error. That's unfortunate, but luckily two anonymous donors totaling $15k have since contributed. Jake needs to tell his grandpa to check his glasses prescription!

No matter how much the final total, this is going to be a great success, and this story is going to be the "crazy zombie", "winking boy" story of corps death and survival. Hilarious, really. And impressively fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teal, Revo and Lone Star (no disrespect intended to any of those groups btw) had a history of problems and some may say mismanagement... Legends don't. I don't get you Stu.. you almost seem bitter that these guys are probably gonna raise the cash they need? What gives?

Does DCI require corps to provide them with a copy of their 990s on an ongoing basis? They should. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confident they're going to have some folks come out of the woodwork throughout the day and make it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjordansc Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I hope the $100K amount was higher than what is actually needed. Hate to see it get to 80-85% and that not be enough. Of course, the final step may be to pass the hat at their home show. I am sure that could bring in another $10K or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that their peers are stepping up is telling in regards to the respect and esteem that they hold Legends leadership.

Legends don't. I don't get you Stu ... you almost seem bitter that these guys are probably gonna raise the cash they need? What gives? Stu is "constant as the northern star." But unlike those opposed to the person who famously said that (in a play, at least), we needn't get out our knives. After all, without him, this thread is getting half as much attention as it has. "Lean and hungry" though we be, we must use Stu's argument to better our own. (His arguments are the same as they've always been. I disagree with his position, but he really does mean it when he says he's thinking foremost of the members.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
