RE: How Much Money Would You Donate Toward An OCS?
I would most likely commit to 5 year or 10 year plan, maybe $1800 per year.

I could always commit to more, but I am so old I will prolly die before the year commitment is met, anyway.

And this is in addition to my current giving level. Over the years I have donated almost $400,000 (I was told, and surprised as well).

And if we need to buy seat licenses, this amount will be toward that.

Andy went to the church members to see if and how much they would pledge.

Andy found the organ to purchase

Andy then went back to the people that promised the $$$$, not a single one could or was willing to make good on their promises.

This is a blatant lie. The church folk (mt.org) had already scraped together about 60% of the cost. Andy then solicited the rest from a bunch of lowdown local businessmen, who then reneged.

TY. I never even thought much about it over the years, just something I do, and encourage others go give as they can, when they can.

Didn't mean to lie-if I did--haven't seen it in years------- OKAY the church had some $$$ in reserve for miscellaneous ---they needed more----then Andy went to gain pledges ----when Andy went to collect--all he got was excuses

How did I lie---the church having some of the $$$ is not relevent--whats that got to do with what I said-- they needed more $$$----the pledgers did renege ---I think all of the people that pledged were members of the church anyway----but what difference did that make ---members or not the pledge makers crawfished

LOL----I thought you might have been--thanks for letting me know---but was hoping that you wouldn't think that I was deliberately lying or trying to mislead ----there is enough of that already on the site

After I responded to your post ---I then noticed you added (MT.ORG) to your original post-----then I knew that you were just messing with me ---but I had already responded ------LOL

Better question is how much you’d pay for the fancy new suites at the LB.

All these fools acting like they would donate. i say, if you're really serious, donate to the Time to Rise capital campaign. Otherwise, you're just blowing smoke.

The initial question was about donating to an on campus stadium. Not the Time to Rise campaign. Try to keep up.
