Right behind you Charlie...Im in as well...BH

Charlie,

Thanks for picking up the baton in Vic's absence, as he always led the charge to be sure that we supported the site. Some of his fundraiser threads remain with us even after his passing.

You can count me in.

Seems like a fitting thing to do on Uncle Vic's birthday.

I'm in.

Capt. Pat, thanks for all the behind the scenes hours you put in for us.

Well guys, I'm kind of broke because of the repower project however I I think I can spare $25. How do I get it to you?

I felt led to copy and paste one of Vic Roy's eloquent posts on the importance of funding this site, because I believe he would have done so himself if he were still with us in body. Below is what Uncle Vic shared almost one year ago, and it still rings true today:

The importance of fundraisers
by Uncle Vic » Wed Sep 14, 2011 5:49 am

Faithful - I write to insure that we all are aware that this site - our beloved "sandbox" - is a totally non-commercial labor of love conceived, owned, and operated by Capt. Patrick McCrary for our benefit and pleasure. It is only suppored by our donations to him. There is no advertising revenue, no dues, or other sources of income to support our site.

Patrick would never ask any of us for money - he's just not that kind of guy. But he's now retired and pretty much just lives on social security. He bears the expense of operating this site out of his own pocket. Many of us have financially supported the site over the past eleven years but there are a lot of new Faithful here now that may not realize that our donations are critical to this site reemaining open and free.

Each and every one of us that frequents this sandbox is morally obligated to send Patrick some money to support the site. Its as simple as that - the value we all get , both financially in huge savings of avoiding screw-ups, and the pure laughs DEMANDS that we put our money where our keyboard is.

Just sit down and write a check payable to "Patrick McCrary" and mail it - how about including a note from you thanking him for what he does for us? - to him at 834 Scott Dr., Llano, TX 78643....or stuff some green money in an envelope and send it. No credit cards, no PayPal, its not a commercial venture. Many of us send $100 or more, but anything will help.

Again, its our moral obligation to support the sandbox. So do it, and do it right now so you can participate here with a clear conscience.
