Thanks for the comeback Rob.
It is hard to know what to ask for when it comes to asking for monies.
Whenever I fill out a registration form for a GTE or WGH show in Portland or
anywhere, the form asks if I want re numeration or not, and I always put
down, 'not necessary, but would surely be appreciated as I travel several
hundred miles and have to pay for lodging and gas'.
I've been fortunate so far and have received assistance for the shows.
Folks who travel and bring their layouts do give a lot for the sake of the
hobby and while they have fun doing it, never the less, the expenses are
considerable. Now if only I were a millionaire........
So I guess it stands to reason that applying for a grant for the upcoming
WGH show in Portland in February makes sense.
Any consideration would be greatly appreciated and I would make mention of
it of course if assistance is given. I am not going to put down a
particular amount when I fill out the application and will leave it entirely
up to you to do as you feel best.
The idea is sound and is appreciated by those who give it there all.
All the best,
Loren

Loren,
That is entirely up to you. You request what you feel you need. We will be
capping some expenses such as lodging and gas. The goal is to help offset
costs and cover them when we can. Every request will be reviewed and funds
allocated as best as we can for the particular need. This is not an
unlimited
fund nor will we automatically give monies. We do have a set budget to work
with. We do hope to be able to help as many clubs and individuals as
possible. Spread the wealth per se! In order to do so, we plan to be more
conservative at first.
We are looking at 2012 as a test for the grant. After the year is over, we
will review what worked and what needs refinement.
