But, the monthly should never make up the total.....Then the group would be come elitist. Everyone should be able to pay a small part and claim ownership.

What's good about the present system is those who can, pay. Those who only contribute a small amount still can say: "I'm part of FR."

Now if the group who use but don't contribute would only pay $1.00 they wouldn't appear to be so ????? ......socialistic?

Since no one knows how much anyone contributes unless they declare themselves, I see nothing elitist about every person who values and wants to consider themselves part of FR contributing a SMALL amount every month.

The camaraderie and sense of belonging would be enhanced through shared support.

Indeed they can! And they should know that whatever the amount of their contribution, it is greatly appreciated!
