Thanks Harolddd.  Yes, a fine distinction between loan and
rent.  We had a similar program in our club from the first 
months of operation.  We asked for $10, $5 of which went to
the club and $5 to the owner of the camera (that was me :-))
Only two people took advantage of this program.  

Out of curiosity, did someone supply the cameras or are these 
owned by the club?  And how many people actually ask to rent 
these?  I am willing to bet that you see the same thing, i.e.,
the cameras are sitting idle.
