</div>I assume you mean paying membership fees *for* others.<br>
<br>
I see that as quite analogous to driving others to SOTM. Maybe paying<br>
for someone else's bus ticket to get to SOTM would be more analogous?<br clear="all"></blockquote></div><br>I am able to pay for my membership, but I normally dont spend money on membership because I spend so much time on things. I am willing to serve on the board if we find a way to pay for my membership, and if we are in that mood, we can also ask for membership for my kosovo team, if someone wants to donate some money. <br>
