More? How about any? We're asking people to donate a bunch of money up 
front to get the group going since we more than a couple of thousand 
dollars in order to even *get into* a space if one can be found. Then 
we're asking people to promise hundreds of dollars a month for a period 
of time in order to meet the lease on a space.

I won't be at the meeting tonight but I know that before I hand 
significant amounts of money to near strangers, I am going to have 
questions about how accountable the organization is. I was under the 
impression that we'd agreed to have members have some say in the 
organization, partially because these concerns were brought up before.  
Maybe this is only a concern to me but I suspect that it will not be so.

I don't think that I'm being overly cantankerous here but it is possible.
