[vox] Fund-raiser possibility at Dos Coyotes

[Alex Mandel]

I'm not, but that's besides the point. Many dining establishments do the
same thing. Steve's, Baskin Robbins, etc.

What are we fund raising for? Last time I checked we weren't short on
any funds in particular. Without a goal I hesitate to do a fund raiser.
