We've gotten a lot of contributions so far this month and thanks to everyone who has chipped in. After paying hundreds in bills this month, we are current on all but one of them. We've got some more bills coming at the end of the week and early next month, and we're a bit short of our goal with less than a week to go, so whatever any one can do will be greatly appreciated.

Someone wanted a breakdown of expenses. I've done this before but it gets complicated and lately I haven't been doing it. But here it is in round numbers.

Monthly cost of keeping BC running:
Hosting fees: ~$800
License fees: ~$300
Accounting fees: ~$500
Piper: ~$900
Cat: ~$200
Service on debt: ~$800
Phones and ISPs: ~$300
Travel and office expenses: ~$100
Donations to other TG sites: ~$50
Miscellaneous: $250

That comes to $4200 out of the $2500 we ask for in gifts. The rest is made up for by advertising, commissions, or out of my pocket.

As always, these gifts are greatly appreciated and go for more than just keeping BC online since we host several other community sites and are getting involved with several more. See the menu at the top of the page for many of our other sites and sites we help out at. More coming soon.

You can make a gift to use via http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/page/10799/hatbox-subscriptions the Hatbox, which will also give you access to some premium content that you may not have seen.

Or you can go to http://janglewood.com/ to use the P*A*Y*P*A*L gift box there.

Or PM me, Erin, for other methods of contribution.

And thanks.

Hugs,
Erin, Piper and Cat
