All I'm saying is, never assume that you are entitled to support from the public.

nothing is ever entitled to funding. Are road and hospitals entitled to funding? They are not, unless the community makes it a priority. Build your grassroots support and FIRST will become a priority for you local government body and school board as well. If the taxpayers in your community do not know of, or care for, FIRST, it is your job to show them what you do and educate them.
