Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Thats a **** shame guys! Tim doesn't ask for much, just a lil help with the expenses, and food. Tim, and family put in alot of work to get ready every year for the rally. He doesn't ask us to come grab a rake, or supply him with tables and chairs. All he asks is for us to tell him what we can bring...AND HE RELIES ON US TO BRING IT!!!! This rally has been planned for months. It wasn't a surprise, or last minute. I think being adults as we all are we could of put a lil something aside to ease the burdon on Tim. If anyone has a problem with this post feel free to contact me. This is not an attack on any certain member. This is just a rant to the SS community. Tim, I want to thank you and your family for everything. If you chose not to have another rally at your place I completely understand. I personally will not look at you any different. You have more than paid your dues to all of the steelsoldiers. I'm sorry that it has come to this.totaling up all the bills with all the work and we will have to think long on having another rally next year. we are looking at another location to have one.
LOL we have to take care of our own! Tim, and family deserve better.Jluv,
You beat me to it...

Tell Mrs Pam thanks for trying to get the best angle on that profile shot of me. If only my arm was bigger LOL.a few more to enjoy
I want to thank Tim and his family again for the Hospitality, it was an awesomeAlright Folks. Here is the translation to Tim's last post. He is much too kind to lay it out.
The truth is events like this cost a lot of money and time. Porta potties, food, tables, chairs, electricity, drinks, ice, gas to get all of this, the list goes on....
None of us are independantly wealthy but we cal ALL chip in. The food items that folks brought are much appreciated but there is a LOT to pay for on top of that. I looked at the donations jar after lunch and it was embarrasingly light.
Here is the reality. If we don't kick in then we lose the event.
In my opinion Tim and Mrs. Pam need to take in at least $40 per truck to support this. I will be happy to share with the group that each year I put up $100 and Mr George who rides with me kicks in seperately. I am not flaunting this number but rather quantifying what folks put up.
If you truly can't afford to put up then fine. I am sure that anyone who drops in and is on hard times will be welcomed. For the rest, if you came and did not leave some green on your way out then you are missing the big picture.
It is not too late. I am sure that your post-rally donations are welcomed. They are obviously in the red with the budget for this event and there is no reason that they should be.
I hope you take this the right way. I am not busting anyones chops. I simply want to see that good people making a great effort are taken care of for their services.
