Fred I love the idea!!!!

I was once told that one man's dollar is another man's hundred dollars.

I agree and love the idea. Might as well be CAMS (cigar asylum member supporters)! The donate link isn't working for me.

Fred, its a great idea.

A question, how will it be determined the amount of the gift and what type of gift will be given (gift card, bill payment, etc.)?

A statement, not that I am one to judge, I do believe the people here are good, honest people, but similar to giving money to a random person or charity and not knowing whether they are buying something they need (food, clothes) or a luxury item (booze, or something else). I have experienced this misappropriation of funds in my own life when trying to help out a family member and it feels like you have been cheated.

Excellent question. I'm thinking the committee will make this decision based upon the details of the request (nomination) and communication with the nominee. There can be no hard and fast "rules" as each situation will be unique. The committee will make a good faith effort to address the need of the recipient and the good will of our members.

Great idea, Fred. You are a good-hearted man.

The links are not functional at the moment. This thread is only to discuss the feasibility of this idea. If the decision is made to move forward then a new thread with a functional post will be provided. Thanks
