Uh, sorry to inform you but...
a.) we have more local teams than ever, 3 more, plus the vets.
b.) in one day for a car wash we made $600. I don't consider Sparky super funded, but that helped.
c.) If all else fails, you can join BEST (
www.bestinc.org). It's free and from what I hear, great.
When it boils down to it, it's not like FIRST is charging us extra so they can fly Dean & Woody around first class more. I've talked to the people IN FIRST and they can say this is needed, and kinda said that last year the prices should have gone up.
And please, FIRST won't go bankrupt. Dean will sell his house before that happens. Or atleast North Dumpling.
