Glen writes: "Why make this offer?"
We took out a loan of $3,000 for expenses for the 1993 Klingon camp to
cover our debts from the City of Red Lake Falls. The City has turned
hostile to our program and was trying to drag us into court before the
first payment of $1,500 was even due on Sept. 1, '94. Thanks to the
High Council we paid it. But we owe another $1,500 on Sept. 1, '95.
This is why we need your help.
