I've been thinking about all the different suggestion made for a memorial for Z. The YMCA is a great organization and served Z well over the last few years. ( I'll be sending my donation when I'm done here.)
I was thinking about a Z Bahti (Zelio) Elio assistance fund. When one of our members runs into financial difficulty they can petition the fund for help. Reasons for assistance would be medical emergencies, family emergencies, job loss (not because you were fired), vehicle repairs (there are a lot of people driving old bangers, hoping it lasts, while waiting for their Elio), upgrade assistance for those on a fixed income (such as Z), or once we get our Elios, help those on low fixed income make a payment. We could set a limit for assistance, like $300.00 and limit it to one per member, per calendar year. We could set up a members board to go over the petitions and assign the fund according to NEED. We have some members (Not Us, although we've been there) who live pay check, to pay check and at times could use a little help, Just my thoughts.
