I don't remember what exactly happen last year... but I do remember
being short... which is the reason we bumped up the membership fee to 
$60.00.
A fun time was definitely had by all!!! 8-)

I see do your point... but the main reason we donate the unclaimed winnings
to the cause is not to screw people... it's so we don't have to track 
them down.

It is one thing if the winnings stay in the North End neighbourhood, but is
a whole another thing we have to track people down in Amherst,
south Nashua, Hudson, etc for a lousy $25.00... I really don't think we 
should
commit to something like that... cause it probably will not happen... ;-)

So donating the winnings, I'm thinking, is the fairest way to handle it...

My two cents,

steved.
