Fundraiser Starts NOW - If you want to stop subscription plan.

[raulduke]

$24 a.s.a.p.

I'm not sure what all the payment options are (Ive been looking and can't find a list. Could someone post a link or pm me please?).

I'd like to keep it non-digital (w/ cash) like I've heard some say they were sending, but is that viable, sending cash through the mail?

[JSGlasgow]

$25 via paypal

My mistake and misunderstanding! Everything needs to also be cleared through Kerry. Upon her instruction the subscription plans will continue. I close this thread now and apologize to Kerry and Bill and the members for any problems this has caused. Please just let it go .... all this fuss over the subscription. I give my blessings and pray for the highest good to manifest. Love is who we are, Karen

How will this money be divided? I hope no one is giving away even small amounts before you can show what you need the money for.

Webhost = $1000
Unknown = $59,000

how about tree fitty. just kiddin

Money and I are at the opposite ends of the energy spectrum. Hmmmm... im gonna go sell some stuff and will send avalon some cash. I am so strapped for cash right now its not even funny, im lucky to have a house. Good thing for free internet.

All my spare money has been going to my science experiments but I am sure that I can dig up a few bucks for avalon.

Maybe there are some government grants avalon can apply for.

May I just ask a question? A respectful one with a view to understanding.
Why is the money needed in one hit? Would this be different via a subscription route as I'm not sure I'm understanding.
Thanks.

Quarterly would make it a goal of 15,000. Nothing is set in stone -- this is me brainstorming after spending most of 2 days reading and noting the reactions to the subscription fee. Please private message me for these types of questions.

What I give now is just what I can give now. I'm the type of person who gives periodically- when money flows here I'm generous. I go through cycles.

I'd recommend raising funds like 3x/year or something. A good time would be if there's another stimulus package passed by our oh so brilliant politicians. Or after tax returns start coming back (March-ish?). I can't imagine it would all be needed *right* now and then there are the sales of merchandise that will help out once they go on sale. Same with the dvds or whatever. It will come, have faith Bill and Kerry. When push comes to shove it happens.

I think it would be a good idea to know what is needed until, say, March or so...the next 4 months then in the meantime starting adding to the revenue via the sales ideas.

It has only been about 6 hours. We need 48 times more in dollar amounts.
We are only 2% of the way to $60,000 (minimal operating expenses for 1 yr.)
Can we do it? Or will this show why the subscription route was chosen.

still pretty good for only a few hours eh.
question....
is 60 G's really needed that quickly?
