Re: Bead Collector Network needs our help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- TASART | Post Reply | Edit | Forum | Where am I? |
The second and third quarter fees came from my meager checking account, since we are between grants at this time. So your donations help to cover April - September server fees and domain registries for the site. I surely appreciate the assistance, because beadcollector.net is a huge and rather expensive site with a dedicated server. We aren't lucky enough to have a buddy who owns a server farm or anything like that, but we ARE lucky enough to have a wonderful membership of folks who are coming through! I thank you all so very much, because I can't afford to pay for this site!
And I believe it's a fantastic educational resource for the collecting community. We don't pretend to be experts, but we have members of every level of knowledge and experience and it makes for a wonderful bead destinaton. With the closure of two bead museums in the United States, it's important to keep a place open like beadcollector.net, even though it's a virtual place. It's continuity depends on us all, in many ways!
If the hoped for grant comes through, those funds will be applied to fees starting October - December, and hopefully through next September.
If you have made a new friend, a sale (or many) on the trades pages, found a new source or a new customer, or learned something on this site, please consider helping out.
Thank you, thank you!!
