I'll be a little more frank ...

This will be my 3rd Spring Fling, and I have noted that the last two Friday dinners have been largely funded out of a few DFW member's generosity. What I mean is, although a number of us contributed in previous years, it really takes about $2000 to pull this off and the volunteer dinner organizers have had to make up the difference to the tune of several hundred $.

If you think about how many of us from DFW attend, then you'll know we need to toss an average of $100 in the kitty. We're not just paying for one dinner for us, we are also repaying in kind the generosity of our brothers and sisters in Austin and Houston who host the other nights.

For goodness sakes, let's not leave the Nolands holding the bag this year. It was so generous of Stacey and Chris to volunteer when the room went silent last month ... really! Thanks folks !!
