"I believe that the money is being set aside to either purchase a building, lease space or have space donated "

Jim. 'Purchase' is not a realistic option. James knows that, I know that and I suspect any others do also. However, I am sure there are a great number of members who dont know, or are unaware of the mission statement, or even unaware of the club message board.

I am merely playing 'devils advocate' here. Trying to pose questions that the unknowing members would probably like to know the answers to.
