A few more of you are needed, please, to make the List self-sufficient for another year. How-to follows. --Georgs > All hands-- > > Trawlers & Trawlering List is informative, it's entertaining and > it's free--but it does cost money to operate the thing, about two > grand a year when the sister lists are included. > > Since 1997, 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, 12 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. > > Please note this is only the third time in 12 years that Im asking > for support. (My book-keeper says Im nuts.) > > If you enjoy the 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/showyoursupport.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 2009. > > --Georgs > > Georgs Kolesnikovs > Your host at Trawlers & Trawlering since 1997 > http://www.trawlersandtrawlering.com > Your host at TrawlerCrawler.net since 2009 > http://www.trawlercrawler.net
