Andy Lingras and the "honest saint" whom I assume is Debbie Granat.
They probably will be polarized no matter what.
>I personally
feel if they drop the dues and go for voluntary donations the grants
will suffer severely. Many of the Saints are on fixed incomes and will
not get around to that extra $27.50 or will donate less. I can not
picture too many donating copious amounts to fulfill the coffers. I
also feel new Saint members do not really know how
>important
the scholarship fund is to us. The Saints are not a world market and I
do not think Andy's beliefs apply to our situation. For what the members receive
our dues are negligible for the rewards. Off hand I believe our annual dues are $55.00
