I think it has incredible charm, good food, and great hard working people.  

College game always flood the city with students looking to hang out for the night or looking for food and drinks. 

We go door to door to deliver community newsletters, make detector batteries, surplus food (we have access to eggs and produce).  

I own a very large food processing company, we are currently renting out kitchen space in an ideal facility.  

The cat had gone through the single bowl of food they left, and had taken to eating its own excrement to survive.

They sent us to a hotel for a week (on their dime) and also reimbursed us for all food purchases all week.

Therefore, I'd probably concentrate using 1/2 of the money to actively pursue deals and use the other 1/2 to invest passively and put food on the table. 

I'll probably just take a nap, but thank you for the food for thought! 

I was more so asking what would the difference be and what your group would offer.A couple of clarifications.The WNY REI group does charge a membership and last I knew it was only $80 for the year with that though they did provide food at the end of each meeting.The exchangers group did not charge.New BP group, also no fees.

Food for thought.Rich
