I'm wondering why the donation drive was stopped early, before the enough money was collected to cover the Foundation's Q3 budget of $198,000. After our discussion in August about the German chapter, I thought it was fairly clear that those funds could not be used for the general operating expenses of the Florida Foundation.

I expect the people editing the sitenotice were unaware that the drive was meant to be a "21-day" one rather than one which would end when the initial goal was met, as it was last time.
