I just saw a used 42? one this morning on Craig?s list for $700 that included a 40? time dethatcher and a 42? snow blade. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">So what can we do about it? I?m willing to put up some money towards a mower for Elmendorf. Is anybody else interested or willing to chip in towards that? I figure that if we can come up with a good portion of the cost via our own pockets, then we can approach the club at the meeting and propose that the club make up the difference. So right now we would just be in the collecting of pledges for money. Any actual decisions would probably have to wait until the next meeting (May 3<sup>rd</sup>).<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">If you are interested, let me know. Or if you have another suggestion, let?s hear it. Or if you know where we can get a good deal on a mower, definitely let?s hear about that!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I?ll start by pledging $100 towards a replacement mower for Elmendorf.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria" ,"serif"">~ Armand<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria" ,"serif"">Armand@nmitsolutions.com<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div></td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote></html>
