$2,000,000.00? Pffft, that's chump change people. Especially in this day and age of being connected through social networks. I'll give $10.00. And I'll post your campaign on my Facebook page asking for my friends and family to donate $10.00 as well. But just as a side note, I read an article in Trains or some other rail related publication that outlined how the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust over in England raised the funds for their project. They started a "pint a week" club. The idea was that if you were willing to spend a few dollars on a beer every week then you might be willing to spend a few on replicating a steam locomotive. They had people sign up and promise to give something like $2.50 a week for the next year. That created a constant flow of income for them that allowed for the project to never lose steam. I've always thought that it was a great idea and one that we should be using over here in America. I'd be willing to join a club like that and I'm betting a bunch of others would as well. Just a thought Mike Sullivan |
