View all threadsHelp support Great Loop List!
All hands--
Great Loop List is informative, it's entertaining and it's free--but it does
cost money to operate.
Since inception, I have happily covered the costs myself, because I have the
same passion you do for messing about in boats. If the truth were known, so
many years into it, I still can't wait to get into the digest every morning to
see what's being discussed.
But I no longer own and operate Trawler Fest, so there is not even faint
business motivation for me to continue to underwrite the costs. Thus, this
request for support:
If you enjoy Great Loop List, and if want it to continue and grow, please lend
a hand by contributing toward expenses. A donation of just $10 or $25 a year
will prove immensely helpful.
To make a voluntary contribution via PayPal or a credit card, please go to
http://www.trawlersandtrawlering.com/supportgreatlooplist.html.
On the same page, you'll find an address if you wish to contribute by check or
money order.
Have no fears, you won't be badgered about making a donation. Unless someone
posts a question or comment, I'll be reporting to you monthly only on
fund-raising progress, and publicly thanking those who have stepped forward.
Please help make the List self-supporting in 2010.

All hands--
Your initial response to this year's appeal for contribution has been most gratifying. At month's end, I'll provide an update on the annual quest for self-suffiency.
Today, I'd like to thank the following Listees
Fred Ferber
Douglas Pugh
for their much-appreciated support last year (after the regular campaign had ended).
I'd also take this opportunity to publicly thank Listmeister Bill Donovan and other volunteer members of the Admin Team who contribute so much behind the scenes.
Thank you one and all!
