Dave, you could do something like that if you want. just have jar or something sitting close to the food, so people can leave something letting you know how much they appreciate you opening your house to us.
oh and as soon as i get the date and time this year of the aberdeen thing, ill let everyone know. it's alot of fun actually.
A donation box/jar is a great idea. I suggest that the donations be use to reimburse Dave and Gerrie and the remainder be placed into our bank account for future events. Because there are no dues required it's incumbent on us to help ourselves. Trust me when I say, Dave and Gerrie are tremendous hosts. Neither will accept reimbursement but we're a larger number then they are so we can bully them into accepting it.
