Don't forget guys and girls, that the money from the raffle and the general
fund supports the newsletter and quarterly too.  The membership fee is not
enough to support these items.  I don't want to start a whole new thread
here, but POCA is not a profit making organization, and the concept that
there is all this free money out there just waiting to be spent (like some
of us think about the government) is just not true.  Every dime we want to
use for a NEW cause must come from an OLD cause.  So consider what you want
to give up.  I know that is easy for you non-drinkers, but you are not in
the majority.
