I concur
Lets keep this on the open forum so we can all participate
Either directly or indirectly through the paid membership (Members Money) or even a special fund of support.

Well, as a non-member, you're certainly free to donate to the NCM on your own, of course. However, if we're talking about the Registry club making a contribution, then understand the Registry is a formal club and the Board of Directors serves at the pleasure of the Members. It's their money, so certainly they are entitled to have a say - as members - on how the Registry spends their money.

The Registry provides this forum at the member's expense, free of charge to NON-MEMBERS like you. And, you're welcome to post on our FREE forums, as long as you abide by the forum rules; nothing preventing you from opening a discussion yourself.

However, short of preventing anyone from discussing this on the General forum as well, if it is OK with you, may I please suggest a discussion among my "constituent members" inviting them to a discussion of ideas having to do especially with Registry financial matters, without you're being "pissed". Otherwise, I don't think I could bear it.

Funny that there's some disagreement here - I've wondered if there will be litigation between NCM, inscos, and lost cars' owners (were any of the cars POV's? )...

Sounds like you guys are talking about two different donations.
One that would be "hey guys pony up if you like"
One that would come from the registry coffers.
One that comes form the registries coffers should certainly come from the voice of the members.

Schrade, six of the cars were owned by the museum, and two by GM.

Exactly..........actually 4 types of DONATIONS but ALL for one cause. Kind of like contributing to this Forum which there are many ways

One..... a special fund were we can All Contribute as Paying and Non Paying Members.
Two..... Joining the Membership of the Museum.
Three..... having the Club contribute using Paid Membership Funds.
Four..... Contributing directly to the Museum.
CF set up an option for an Identifier Tag for members that contribute directly to the Museum.
If you want to be a part of the Restoration, here are some ways to do that

I just do not see that sink hole being filled but could be wrong on that also.

I also think this accident sent a message to everyone in that area (Bowling Green, Kentucky) that anyone could be next which is also of economic concern.

We also need to wait and see how much of this is covered by insurance.

There does exist Sink Hole Insurance (if the Museum has that insurance).....but for structural damage and not repairing the sink hole itself.
See Post #9 If you want to be a part of the Restoration, here are some ways to do that

CLICK HERE TO BECOME A NATIONAL CORVETTE MUSEUM MEMBER

MAKE A DIRECT DONATION TO THE MUSEUM
Jeeeeze... guys! As Brett often reminds us, "Its just a car club!" I think we're in violent agreement here! I was just responding to ghlkal's question regarding what thoughts the Directors have on the NCM donation subject. By Directors, I assumed the question wasn't soliciting personal comments from individual directors like me, but asking more along the lines of what an official response involving the Registry (members) should be. There is a big difference, but not everyone (obviously) understands that.

The Mission Statement for the ZR-1 Net Registry club is "Keeping the Legend Alive". There are formal goals and objectives and dues collected to cover expenses (such as licenses, fees, event promotions (e.g., drag racing at Bowling Green) trophies, event sponsorships, BG gathering (a biggie), etc. and funds are budgeted; ALL in the name of providing the most fun from owning the ZR-1 as possible. There are 9 members on the Board of Directors that volunteer 100s of hours of their time to promote the enjoyment of the club for the members in ways most have no idea; some very visible things such as group purchases, locating supporting vendors and getting member discounts, gathering material and producing a news letter, membership recruiting, financial accounting and reporting, record keeping, etc.

So... When "chit happens" (or sink holes as the case may be) where club resources might be diverted from "Keeping the (ZR-1) Legend Alive", and priorities/budgets that are already in place have to be compromised to accommodate the emergency, MEMBERS have a say in how their club resources are used. That's all.

Individual's, members and non-members alike have good ideas and do a lot to support the hobby; yourself especially, Cliff. This place wouldn't be the great place it is without that kind of support to fellow Z nuts. That's the reason the forums are open to the public at no charge to members and non-members alike.

But, some are oblivious to how their bread gets buttered, and become petulant at the first sign of things that don't go exactly as they wish.

Dealing with organizations is often frustrating at times, boy-yo-boy (don't get me started!). We can respectfully disagree as adults anytime. But, as soon as someone starts getting derogatory, Forum Rule #5 (among others) kicks in - my meaning in bringing it up... I'd rather be hearing some ideas on how to raise a good amount toward the Museum and promote the Mission of the ZR-1 community at the same time than dealing with "pissy" (spelled with an "I", Cliff...I know you!)
