I will support the purchase as my experiences in seeing one in use were good. I hate depending on the kindness of others for something that has such broad potential.
Might be worth making a list of things we have found useful at our public venues and what we have available as reference. Ie, the banner, this if/when it comes about, and generic things such as broom, dust pan, extension cord etc. Rob, Tracy, and others have much more experience at these than I. Anyone care to type a list up to share?
We probably ought to have an inventory of assets anyhow. If we do, I'm not aware of it.
