I owe Jim Hery an apology

I thought I stuck a Franklin in the box, to me that was kinda cheap for the people and things I learned over the weekend. Its a shame others didn't see it was worth at least that much.

I don't use this site often and I am just now 2 years later scrolling through posts. This is very upsetting to hear. I was at 2019 and 2020 event and both times put $200 in the box. I brought a friend in 2020 and he also put $200 in the box. 2 meals a day and a life time of experience is worth that and more. Knowing a few others put hundreds into the box it sounds like many people didn't contribute at all. Im not opposed to making it a paid event like Oblong if that's what it will take to keep these great events happening.

I think an admission fee daily or other is a good idea. Some of the meets are already doing this.
