Should the board call it quits now? I'll give you a week to discuss / decide before looking in again.

Does that include the VAT?

FWIW, I'm holding $40 in contributions from y'all received in excess last year. If there's a decision to fold, then I'd suggest sending the money to a charity and I'd provide y'all with a receipty thingie thing on Plan B before it vanishes. Or not as the case may be . . .

I'm not sure about continuing. I could risk another 20 bucks or so if that's the decision but the cost is up there now at 169 plus VAT I suppose (since it says local taxes are not included). Maybe we've outlived our whatever

My excise tax bill was lower than I had budgeted for, so I’m good for $50 if others will kick in to make the balance - let Meade know by PM and if we have the requisite amount pledged we can keep our little lounge open for another year. Or not as you wish.

[Bicycle Bill]

I'll kick in fifteen bucks, Meade. Just let me know in a PM how to get it to you.

Me too, Meade, but I would prefer to send an old fashioned personal check, if you would post a personal message to me with your snail-mail address
(quick, before the current general post master decides to end retail service.)

I'll donate. I've got some money I saved for an occasion like this. It's buried in my backyard inside a Folgers coffee can and I'm prepared to dig it up, if necessary.

You should upgrade to a can of Chock full o’Nuts and their superior stainless steel can - also the coffee is much better!

Last year, everyone who posts regularly (and some irregularly) kicked in to keep Plan B going. Every one.

So we have $40 plus I'll search the couch and come up with $25. There's another few bucks in the pipeline and I expect a contribution from an anonymous donor (they know who they am).

So that means roughly $100 needed, considering VAT. Perhaps 3 x 35 donations might do it rather than 3 x 50 which have already been offered (please and thank you very much). But if some want to overachieve and build up another reserve for next year . . . their names will be added to the John F Kennedy Performing-Clown-Trump Center
