Bill,
It is doubtful I can make either of these sessions. However, I desperately want to do something to show my support. I've come up with an idea and hope it might serve as a generator for others to find ways to help out.
Dick and I would personally like to sponsor the refreshments and food for the first session. It's a small way to say thanks to you and the volunteers for your time, effort and interest in making this project a great success.
We can work out the details when you have a final count.
