[MR] Event Profit Sharing

[Trey and Janine Sutter]

I volunteered at Gulf Wars one year and a little while later my Canton got a 
small check in the mail.  They could not figure out what it was for until 
they thought to ask the 2 of us that attended the war.  At the time, I did 
not know that volunteering generated revenue for my home group, but a lot of 
people doing just a few hours each can really add up!
