It's 500 pounds for a tile without all the frills, and 1000 for a prominently placed tile and VIP treatment. We could shoot for ten (10) 50 pound donations? (approx. $81 U.S. dollars) Anything more would just bring down the individual donations, or we could shoot for the VIP tile.
What do you say guys. I'm good for one 50 pound donation...

I'm in, too, but I realize everyone has their own limits as to what they would be comfortable giving. If there is interest, I'm willing to keep track of "pledges" to see how much we can collect - enough for the 500 or 1000 GBP tile. Feel free to send me a PM if you're interested. |

Great! Thanks Jane! (so much more diplomatic than me)  Are we going to set a time frame? Can you keep us posted of the progress too? I just love this idea. ;D |

That's great, Gabi - thanks! That already puts us almost a third of the way to the 500 GBP tile.  Someone asked how much this would be in Euro. At the current rate, 50 GBP = 57,39 EUR |

When I first read about those tiles some weeks ago, I thought a MAJICAT-tile would be nice  Last week my boss rated my last year's performance as outstanding, which will raise my salary a bit So if it's needed, I could increase my donation a bit  |

No, Richina, we are not asking that "Here's a virtual smoochie" be put on the tile... |

Party pooper .....guess I'll still have to go for the real thing!   I am staggered by the sacrifices you are always willing to make where Yusuf is concerned... |

..I've already kinda gone alone on this one...............xx Cool Sabina! And you're so lucky to be able to monitor the Center's progress up close and personal, and visit once it's finished...whenever the urge strikes! Maybe you can take a picture of our tile for us once it's placed!! Hey Richina - thanks for scheming behind your husband's back (I'm talking about the donation silly!!!) I'm keeping mum about mine as well! |

I want to make clear that what I said was, as I already stated, not a judgment in any way - and when I said "strange" or "extreme" I only meant strange to ME, as in, out of my range of experience. Funny I feel this way, after having attended an all-girl high school. Oh well. Thanks for your response. Hi, peacock, I understood that you weren't judging, but were just wondering out loud, so to speak. Your posts are thought-provoking, interesting, and welcome. It's great that you're open and generous enough to share your thoughts. And as for this thread, I really appreciate that you honestly expressed what many others wonder about in silence, because you gave me the opportunity to try to explain a little of what seems strange to so many, not just you. Thank you. Peace, ~Sun~ |

Dear Bud, Thank you for your kind, thoughtful, and encouraging comments. You lend a lovely light to majicat. Your wit, wisdom, and way with words make majicat feel wonderful and welcoming. Thank you, my friend. |

Hi, Jane,
Thank you for your kind and generous words - I was really touched by them and would like you to know that your presence is also greatly appreciated here on majicat. You keep us sensible and grounded, even as we fly off an tangents and orthogonal paths, getting off-topic, and posting excruciatingly long posts. Thank you for helping to keep the balance here at majicat.
And I love the idea of a majicat tile at the Maqam Center. I hope we can go for the 1000 pound one. Please put me down for $100 (US). I'll let you do the currency conversion. ;D
Peace,
~Sun~

Yipee!!!! ;D We must be getting close to the "no frills" tile by now Where we at Jane?? (that's not bad grammer - just New Orleans speak - right Richina?) (I've seen Harry Connick so many times I got the accent down pretty good) Richina - you're right. The tile is huge. Knowing Yusuf and his excellent taste, I'll bet they will be beautiful too. Can't wait to see ours!!! |

Regii - is that 50 Euro or GBP?
We should now be just over 300 GBP. I have it all neatly organized in Excel at home. I'll check it when I get home and update everyone here.
Keep spreading the word!

Can't wait to see ours!!! Hey A!! Yep, that sounded like perfect grammar to me!! As far as the tile goes I'm not sure who all has PM'd Jane, but publically Jane, you, Sun, Gabi, Regine, and I have pledged 50P each....looks like at least 300P so far!! How wonderful! Oh, and if I forgot someone in my calculations, please feel free to correct me! We're on our way...Yusie better put it in a good place! |
