In 2020, Subsig faced a perfect financial storm:
- A critical roof re-shingling
- COVID-19 eliminating most trip revenue
- Property taxes doubling
Cabin expenses continued and there was no relief is in sight for resuming typical Subsig trips. With a looming financial crisis, the Subsig Board reluctantly decided to ask Subsig Club Members for help.
The Subsig Board created Campaign 70, honoring Subsig’s 70th year since incorporation. This was a way for Club-Members to help Subsig get through this tough year. A plea was made to Club-Members, if they were able, to support Campaign 70 with a donation of $70 or any amount of their choosing. Contributions could be made in the Club-Member’s name, or in honor or memory of someone, or anonymously.
The response was over-whelming!! As of March 8, 2021, members and friends have contributed $5,092, including donations in memory of Fred Fenger and Mike Schuttenberg.
The Subsig Board of Directors Thanks you for your contribution to making Subsig’s Campaign 70 such a huge success!
