I have read many posts here. Some I think are way off base. There was one that questioned the integrity of the newer members. I am a newer member and can assure those who question the integrity of the newer members that there are reasons for the lack of involvement.
Many are unaware of the magnitude of this. And many of us are going thru some hard times that nobody here is entitled to an explanation of. Better yet, we may be giving to the organization on our own directly. It seems that many here that questioned the buzz of this years auction has sold many items in the classified this year. And some of those same guys questioned me when I decided to sell instead of trade due to me needing the money.
I agree, all that can be done needs to be done. Listen to your heart and pray to the Lord for direction as to what to do. If it is donate do it, if buying do it. But, let God direct you, not what members here think. Not a thing in the world wrong with reminding us of this but as always, some people take it to far. If I had anything to give to auction I would. If I had the $ to buy, I most certainly would. God Bless
