Jim, I may have gotten ahead of the ball a little bit. I was assuming
that the group would somehow have to report on assets, which may (or may
not) include assets in the form of time donations. I was also envisioning
this in relation to owning a piece of property and an operating business,
which of course is only my fantasy and probably impractical in relation
to what Tuna proposed, which was a more informal process altogether.
But I believe we would have to have some kind of structure to hold the
ownership of the trailers while they were being restored, and for the ongoing
management of the purchasing/restoring fund. I don't know if the
WBCCI would be able/willing to take on that task as well as all the club
functions.
In terms of initial donation, I would be willing to make a contribution (not necessarily "sizable" but not neglible either) to the fund, and/or there may be people who would donate trailers they have despaired of working on, in the interest of getting them back on the road. --Sarah |
