GL: Show your support for Great Loop List!

[Georgs Kolesnikovs]

All hands--

Great Loop List is informative, it's entertaining and it's free--but 
it does cost money to operate the thing, plus a whack of volunterer 
time.

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, 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.

In 2004, after some of you started a thread on how to make the List 
self-supporting, I set up a PayPal account for donations--and many of 
you stepped forward with a contribution.

For three years, my book-keeper has been telling me I should make the 
call for donations an annual event. So, at last, here I am:

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/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.
