You would think with all that money and property and that highfalutin museum they could have thrown me a few thousand dollars, after all, I pay dues. Rumor is they have stockpiled gold bullion in the basement.


Ha, ha, you snooze you loose! I submitted my application the second the submission window opened and my grant application got approved! That's right, approved! Not only that, we got approved for the deluxe model huts that include air conditioning for the Summer months. We also went with the natural gas powered huts because we can't be inconvenienced relying on solar power on cloudy days. We made sure we didn't leave any stone upturned and even included the 1/2 mile natural gas hook-up in our application. Better luck next year!
