BST: Show your support for BST!

All hands--

Trawler Buy-Sell-Trade is a free service to the trawler 
community--but it does cost money to operate the thing, 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.
