<DIV>I have been giving a $20 donation every year at the New year planning
dinner. Donations have not been mentioned. I think that the next
planning meeting, who ever is in charge should announce that donations are being
collected. No one needs to give, but some people just don't think about
it. If people are expecting a request for donations they will bring the
extra money.</DIV>
<DIV>If you don't think that that's a good idea, don't read any further.</DIV>
