Plus...it is nice to know they are there. Cost is two or three couple meals out. Ya never know. You just never know. Talk about how embarrassing it would be if it saved your life and you didn't support it financially.
PLUS....don't you think the golf course conditions have improved in the last few weeks????

Thanks for the lecture. Haven't had one of those since my Mom died almost 20 years ago. Too bad all of you have missed my point about the cost of the program. It's not the minimal amount each one of you puts up it's the cumulative cost of this program in the 100 or so Villages where it's been implemented. At about 5k per Village that's the $500,000 cost I'm talking about. Might actually be worth it if someone could just come up with several examples of when and where the neighborhood program was implemented and if it did or did not save any lives. Your post was also most informative as it implies that the names of non contributors in the neighborhoods might not be protected. If that premise is in fact incorrect I should have no problem at my next Holiday party.
