(Georgs Kolesnikovs) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2009 15:01:55 -0400 From: Georgs Kolesnikovs <georgs@trawlersandtrawlering.com> To: trawler-buy-sell-trade@lists.samurai.com Subject: BST: Help make BST self-supporting! Message-ID: <AD5CAB8A-9A30-4BFE-B681-7E04EDFA648B@trawlersandtrawlering.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" All hands-- Trawler Buy-Sell-Trade is a free service to the trawler community--but it does cost money to operate the board, plus some volunteer time. Since inception, I have happily covered the costs myself, because I have the same passion you do for messing about in boats. And I want to keep for-sale messages off the main Trawlers & Trawlering List. 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. For some years now, my book-keeper has been telling me I should aim to make BST self-supporting by making an annual call for donations from the people who use it--especially the brokers and others who stand to benefit financially from BST. So, here I am: If you find BST interesting and valuable, 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/supportbuyselltradelist.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. I'll report to you monthly only on fund-raising progress, and publicly thank those who have stepped forward. Thank you for your help. --Georgs Georgs Kolesnikovs Your host at Trawlers & Trawlering since 1997 http://www.trawlersandtrawlering.com ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ http://lists.samurai.com/mailman/listinfo/trawler-buy-sell-trade End of Trawler-Buy-Sell-Trade Digest, Vol 80, Issue 18 ******************************************************
