New policy for this year: you can only attend the riverboat cruise if you donate at least $150 per year. If you give the minimum just to get tickets you're out of luck.

Keep in mind the minimum was set based on historical trends where we had to cut people off. We have had to turn people away the last few years due to space and this was the approximate giving level that would have been that cut line. We just wanted to be more transparent in that regard.

I understand. Not a huge deal for me, my folks just always enjoyed going and they were disappointed when I gave them the bad news.
Went to see the captain, strangest I could find,
Laid my proposition down, laid it on the line.
I won't slave for beggar's pay, likewise gold and jewels,
But I would slave to learn the way to sink your ship of fools.
Ship of fools on a cruel sea, ship of fools sail away from me.
It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.

I thought all the GD fans had passed away.
I'm working on it! Give me a few more years of hard living.

Saw your first ship sink and drown, from rockin' of the boat,
And all that could not sink or swim was just left there to float.
I won't leave you drifting down, but woh it makes me wild,
With thirty years upon my head to have you call me child.
Ship of fools on a cruel sea, ship of fools sail away from me.

The bottles stand as empty, as they were filled before.
Time there was and plenty, but from that cup no more.
Though I could not caution all, I still might warn a few:
Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools.
Ship of fools on a cruel sea, ship of fools sail away from me.
