Hey Mike (and Folks),

[much trimming for brevity]

I am a very capable artist of many skills, I could even learn to 
program if I had a good mentor. I want to help support this group 
more, I do make appearances and show my appreciation even in 
sometimes very minor and unnoticed ways. I have gained so much from 
everyone:  Vern, Rick, Eric, Don, Gray,  Marvin,  Denise,  Kym, 
Brooks (I can't name everyone...).  Somehow we can make all of our 
goals and projects happen.

We should start a Buddy system for these projects, get two or three 
people talking about solutions to problems and then focus on the 
plan.
I may not even make it to Maker Faire, but I can help even to the 
smallest task to help someone else :) Maybe I can help with the email 
communication to FNA, let's talk about it.
John

John,

Thanks.  We appreciate any small contribution that TRG members can 
make.

If everyone made a small commitment of time and effort to each event, 
there might be a whole lot less pressure on (or weight on the 
shoulders of) folks like Vern, Rick, Paul, Denise, etc.  The burnout 
factor would be a whole lot less.

Incidentally, best of luck in digging out from under your personal 
situation.  No one needs that BS.

All the best....

Mike
