September Donation Drive!!!

Post by Captain Fantastic » 08-30-2004 02:23 PM

Once again, it's time for a donation drive for the extra $100 monthly new server costs. Let's give a break to those who donated in August, and get some new donors here!

Paypal is best, as the payment is billed 9-01-04 - and due by the 12th. Payments can be made through PayPal - see the link on the top of most of the forum pages - or, send a check payable to:

Public At Large
4742 42nd Ave SW #345
Seattle WA 98116-4553

Just to make it fun, we'll post the donation ongoing totals here (not the donors!) - so we can all see a running total toward our goal. We'll do an update at 10 pm pacific time each night, starting tonight.

Maybe Dale can make us a graphic. ;)

All donations are welcomed and appreciated, no matter how large or small. RC will eventually get more new hosting accounts to make up the difference.

Thanks!

ps: RC sez - if you wanna send a little extra for his beer and stash fund, he might even share with Spike Mike and Dale. :)

. . . and for every donation of $3O or more, I'll send you a free hummingbird photo autographed by me, the photographer. :)

. . . R/C, PM me & let me know where the good prices are on Durabrite inks! :D

Fantastic Idea

Post by Captain Fantastic » 08-30-2004 03:27 PM

Great idea, Spike Mike! A way to share a premium for our generous Fantastic Forum donors. The Hummingborg shots are great and colorful. You heard it here! Spike Mike is offering signed-by-the-photog full color photos of the Humming Birds for any donation of $30 or more!

Thanks, Spike Mike.
:D


check out the Hummingborg thread for more photos, and more to come...

Eligible donors will be able to select thier choice of photo from several posted this season. Shots will be 8×1O semi-glossy pictures.

CF...I am personally boycotting paypal. But if I can make a suggestion. This merchant company is just like paypal, its a one time set up of $49 and you can accept ANY credit cards. The fees per transaction are pretty much the same as paypal.

BTW....I have you on my list for next month ;)

Here is the site

http://2checkout.com/

We use this for our business and have NEVER had a problem. You could always use both and cut out the postman.

BTW...Mike I am holding you to the picture :D I am partial to things with wings as you can see.

I ordered printer ink today, but you may want to wait until the true peak of the hummingbird migration here. I'm positive that better, closer, more detailed and colorful shots are on thier way.

Waiting for the swarm . . . :D

Not getting much traffic in here, eh? Okay, let's try this . . .

$2O donation gets you an autographed hummingbird photo. It's a Labor Day Blowout Sale at Crazy Spike's - all hummingbird pics MUST GO!! :D

Also - new printer ink arrived today, so photos can start rolling out. I would still suggest waiting for the peak of the swarm. It won't be long. :)

NOBODY?!? Damn that's sad. I guess I'm not as good as I thought.

Hell with it! Cap'n Code, let's roll with the banner ads!

I'm heading back to Mexico from the Silver State today. Rather than gamble, I've placed my quarters in a special FF account and the check is truly in the mail and I will go to the hummingbird album and choose one when RC says he got the check. Love, Dev
