My last visit to your store to ask you personally to donate $50 was
refused as you said "There's no advantage for me". Needless to say I/
we have not approached you since, mostly because I found ways to
reduce out yearly hosting fees, which was covered by the other links
on our Opening Web page.

Muglo's Email list has been used by some of your employees to
announce many of these events, so we are/have supported your store.
At our meetings in your store you also made a few sales of equipment.

Westmount Public library offered to host our meetings for free and
with Newbie switcher members we had a physical meeting there recently.
Each $50 donation supports our costs for about a year, so it's not
that we come knocking every year. I hope this clarifies our position
on the matter.
Yours,
Tee Cashmore, Sec/Treas Muglo.
