As a member of the community I might think that a major fundraising effort could be directed at something else.

If there are health issues (turf "bugs" being toxic; offgassing) that's certainly my business as a parent.

And if there are environmental consequences (runoff issues, etc) that is my business as a community member. [/quote]

Then you should undertake a major fundraising effort directed at the thing you want a major fundraising effort directed to. That's how it works: you contribute to/fundraise for the things you want to contribute to/fundraise for, and other people contribute to/fundraise for the things they want to contribute to/fundraise for.

Or, if you want to counter the fundraising effort for the artificial turf field by telling people that you don't think they should contribute because [reasons], then you may do that, too.[/quote]

Why the nastiness? As I just said, I'm new to this community and trying to get myself informed on this issue. I'm certainly grateful to people who generously donate their time and money to the community. And maybe I WILL direct a major fundraising effort on some other issue at some point! But for now I'm trying to understand this one. You seem to be expressing the attitude that only people who donate big $$$ have the right to an opinion on things that may involve the health and safety of ALL children at the school, not just donor children. Not to mention the local ecosystem. Maybe I'm misreading you, though--apologies if so!
