Re: 483 fund is committed - to the Depot?

Hi, Roger -

Now that I have found time to read the whole thread, I am VERY confused and concerned by the post to which I'm responding, reproduced below. Based on the root post for this thread, it seemed the ~$4,500 we raised with penny machines, screen savers, miscellaneous donations*, etc. was to go to the (now cosmetic) restoration of #483, not the depot. Isn't the depot a NEW project, not yet funded in any way, for which you are going to START a second, separate fundraiser? PLEASE CLARIFY!!

* My annual $200 donations to the ACNGS fund have been made out to "483 Restoration Fund" for the past few years.
