All hands-- The response to the first-ever Trawler Buy-Sell-Trade List fund-raising request has been excellent. Your initial donations have made the bulletin board just about self-supporting for 2008. Here are the contributors who donated a total of $177.50: Robert Allen Virginia Biddle Bob Frohwein Arthur Gauthier Joyce Gauthier David Redburn Gerald Spiering Alan Wagner Sean Welsh Thank you, one and all! If you enjoy the service, and have not yet shown your support, you can make a voluntary contribution via PayPal or a credit card by going 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. Unless someone posts a question or comment, I'll be reporting to you once more when fund-raising wraps up, and publicly thanking those who have stepped forward. Thank you very much for helping make BST self-supporting. --Georgs Georgs Kolesnikovs Your host at Trawlers & Trawlering, formerly Trawler World, since 1997 Site see: <http://www.trawlersandtrawlering.com>
