I think the club could bring in small but reasonable revenue with merchandise sales. I used to order something once a year just to send Fred some cash, and a lot of TDI owners I meet aren't active on here, but would love to have a TDIclub hat, or sticker, or shirt. I'm not suggesting Fred take this on, but we have a wealth of members who might be willing to do so/help. Items could ship from both CAN and the US, which might help in shipping costs. I know there was a post a few weeks back where someone ordered some items and didn't have any acknowledgement at all, which is a concern, and can really injure club reputation/goodwill. The other thing I do is donate a few dollars when I sell something through the club classifieds. If we passed this spirit around, we would have another source to help with a budget. Lastly, I would be in favor of US$1 charge to post in the cars/items classifieds.
