BIG DAY TOMORRROW!

tomorrow is la day -- looks like it will be a fun filled event for the whole family-- tonight the ice cream social was busy and as usual i ate tooooo much ice cream with fudge--- hmm!

earlier tonight i went out the gate at 6pm and returned within an hour and the minnows swim organization was collecting money at the gate in both the in/out bound lanes...... bad idea!!!!!

why would you put children in these lanes to collect money -- how much can you possibly collect that warrants the risk of injury to these children in the event if an accident

these lanes are narrow and a tight fit to begin with -- drivers are preoccupied with getting close enough to get the community flyer, swipe their cards and get through the gate -- the last thing you need is to have several kids bouncing up and down with cans and signs or running across the lanes to get on the island to collect money -- this is not a proper way to raise money for your organization---

la should not allow this activity to occur strictly on a safety issue if not for the welfare of the kids---

and the minnow organization should put adults out there if they feel this practice is necessary and permitted -- it should not be permitted--- i'd bet that you won't get anyone on this board to sign a memo allowing this activity-- if they did then i'd have to be concerned about their ability to assess this situation and the effects on la in the event of an accident

i wish the minnows organization luck but they need to find a better way to raise money!
