Some of you (quickly) commented on the final line of the last post, noting that it said, "Many thank to all" (instead of "thanks") and wondered if that was a grammatical error.
Unfortunately, it's a budgetary limitation.
A "thank," especially with the rising prices of oil lately, has gotten to be very expensive and right now, we can only afford ONE "thank," hence, "Many thank to all."
However . . .
If we can hit our $20,000 goal, we KNOW we can afford the second thank. So if you can find it in your heart to make a contribution, know that you'll not only be helping divers in our area who might need the Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber, but you'll have the added satisfaction of knowing that you've also enabled us to become grammatically correct.
Thank for your support and concern. (Oops . . . there it is again.)
