[pct-l] Southern Terminus / Business Solicitations

[Jim Keener]

Dear Andrea and others,

Please reconsider before approaching businesses for donations. The  
PCTA does that very well, and it occurred to me that it might dilute  
the message if solicitations were to come from more than one group or  
for more than one purpose. I could be wrong about this, and if so, I  
will back away very quietly.

If someone well known in our community were to volunteer to collect  
and disburse funds from hikers for the southern terminus work, I  
would send a pittance. There are email lists, similar to the PCT-L  
for several of the hiker groups from a given year.

Best,
Jim Keener ( J J )
