Not to put too fine a point on it but there's less than four days to go in the month and we are still short about $700 of our goal. (There's known money in the mail.)

There's also money coming in for our continuing hardware upgrade project and there will be a second Hatbox drive for that in the coming months with a box on the side as soon as there is money to report.

The regular goal amount goes to paying the ongoing costs of maintaining the site and community servers, including offsetting the time Piper spends working on BC instead of work that pays better than the less than minimum wage donations I share with her. Also, I am using part of it to pay down the debt I built up over the years running the site out of my own pocket.

For all who have donated in the past, thanks again. If anyone can make a donation now, also thanks, but rest assured that we know what it is to not have the cash to contribute to things we love.

Hugs to all,
Erin, Piper and the staff
