[PRCo] Re: CAR #39 AND FUNDING RESTORATIONS

[ROGER Jenkins]

All  cars at Seashore and I presume other museums as well , have
individual funds for each car and when somebody sends money for that car
, it is put in the fund set aside for it. When no donations have been
recieved for it and the funds are O  for a while , that car cannot be
worked on and it is moved out of the re-build center and replaced with a
car that has a lot of money in its fund . Such is the case where the
Rochester " Submarine " was brought in for the summer crews to work on
and the #39 was placed in temp storage in another barn to wait for
additional funds.  If you did not know , Seashore is in a very bad
financial shape , asking for membership to chip in to pay for fixed
costs , electric bills, operational bills etc.  No money from the
general treasury spent on car restoration period.  And probably other
trolley museums are in the same boat . So if you want to see your
favorite car restored and running like I would like to see WP #739 ,
SEND MONEY TO YOUR TROLLEY MUSEUM FOR THAT CAR YOU LIKE  !!  and be
Specific tat the money is for that particular car and nothing else. or
to the general fund if you like..
