Where soliciting in groups of community ™ movement meditators for the $18 million for the university endowment, 2.3 $million for the annual fund, or operating funds for MSAE, or now the $270k to keep the Domes open, too often the immediate response comes as.. “I’ll never give them another a nickel again!”.
