Seriously, I'd like to re-bring up what David M. suggested about looking 
into a credit union loan. I suspect we're likely to get rates that edge 
along the inflation rate, and that's almost free money.

How can/would we reach a consensus on borrowing a few thousand for the 
buildout? I do not think we'd find ourselves in a bad spot when it comes 
to progressively paying it back, given our membership trend.

We didn't really plan ahead when it came to moving expenses and buildout 
costs, and we couldn't have known that we'd choose a space that required 
this kind of initial investment. That's okay.

I simply can't donate hard cash right now, as much as I'd like to. And I 
don't think that those of us that haven't donated cash are just being 
jerks and holding out.
