Hi, I think spending Pacific Bulb Society money for member benefits is a very good idea and I'd think that since the BX generates revenue that the amount being requested could be increased considerably if that is what the members wants. I don't think anyone should have to donate any money to this cause, but it's kind of Marie to offer. Since membership in this list and participation in the wiki is free and does not require membership in the Pacific Bulb Society, the major benefit to joining the Pacific Bulb Society is the BX since in the past two years there have been few other benefits for most of the members. If having a little extra money gives Dell more flexibility to improve the BX I can't imagine that Board members (I'm not one of them) could possibly be against this plan. Mary Sue
