Hi everyone;

This year I am doing three things for a fudraiser. Each year our bill  seems to creep up and we have very fee donations.

I have created an affiliate program with Amazon.com. If you purchase a book, please consider purchasing it through our link. Your cost won't change, but we will get a portion of the proceeds.

Second, I am asking everyone who posts to please consider a $10.00 (or higher donation) That is a very small amount and if you come once a week, you are paying pennies to keep this place going.

Third I would like to try and open the store again. I realize it may not have been too popular in the past but maybe we can get something off the ground.

This year out host bill, plus bandwidth etc is $140.00. I don't mind chipping in too, but it is a lot to carry by myself (last year we got a totaly of $60.00 $90 (thanks Cress for correction on that!)  in donation which still left a little more than half I had to pay for. (The bill was higher last year than this year because we had a sever change. Sorry about that!)

So, please consider one of these options above?

Thanks everyone!!

Also, if anyone wants to donate but does not have PayPal, you can (if you wish) send the money to me by mail and I'll do the PayPal transaction.  Send me a Private Message if you'd like to do this, and I'll give you my mailing address.

Thanks for the heads up, Arwen. I'm happy to contribute, especially considering I am here quite often!

Cressida: I'm still having issues with making payments via PayPal (works sometimes, and not other times), so I think I will take you up on the offer, and send you my contribution instead. I'll send you an e-mail to let you know when. Thanks!

*nods at Roh_wyn* Yes, I think it would be the best way for me as well. Cress, do you think it would be okay if I send you my contribution a little later? I'll need to "restore" my finance a little bit after the vacation.

Cress, a few bucks are on their way from me to you via snail mail.

I've sent in donations from myself and Astara so far.  This is just a reminder to anyone else who wants to donate!
