"Region 4 Planning and Development Council has received a $1 million Implementation grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) to build a regionally-connected bike trail system in Fayette and Nicholas counties. In addition to ARC’s grant, the West Virginia Department of Transportation – Division of Highways is contributing approximately $300,000, and local volunteer labor is providing an additional $100,000 worth of in-kind contributions for a total of $1.4 million. This grant builds off a $140,000 feasibility study previously received from ARC."

Do they really need our money?  I think this is a good thing, but I think $500 from us is just a drop in the bucket. 

I am on the fence.  Someone persuade me . . .

After Adam's comments I would like to be persuaded contribute as well.  

I'm not in favor of funding this. 

I generally hold my opinion, but after I found those reports online, I must agree with the comments you all have made so far.

I’m flexible on this. Maybe a token donation of 100-200 to show support?

Could this be treated like a grant? They make the purchases and provide the receipts, then get reimbursed up to a certain amount? Dennis needs to give more details as to what the money is needed for. Maybe have the folks asking for the donation write up a little blurb on what is needed. I don't want the club to pay for something that will not make a difference in the scheme of things.
