I would like to do something special in memory of Dixie. I've started a donation goal (you'll see this on the right side of the main forums page). I've set the goal amount at $500. If we exceed this goal that doesn't mean we have to stop there. I just wanted to set something realistic and achievable. It could very well be a goal that gets smashed so if you'd like to give towards that memorial fund (all of it going to the Rocky Mountain Nature Association) please go ahead and contribute even if the goal has been met or exceeded. Everyone that contributes to this memorial fund will get credited as if they'd donated to the "donation rewards" system (for those that are current in that system your time will be updated to the date that you've donated into Dixie's memorial fund).

Another donation goal I've set is so that I can order t-shirts for this summer. Anyone that contributes $20 toward this goal will get a t-shirt for free (including shipping). And as with the memorial fund, those that contribute toward this goal will get their "donation reward" time updated to the date of donating toward this goal.

For those concerned - this will not hurt the forums, or myself, to have these donation goals. The bulk of the year's bills are paid and I am expecting to take care of the rest of the year myself so I can encourage people to donate toward these goals.....Dixie's memorial fund being the most important.

For anyone that has a "donation rewards" renewal coming up you can contact me ahead of the renewal if you'd like to contribute to one of these funds instead. As I mentioned above, contributions toward either/both goals will renew your "donation rewards" expiration date.

How does the "Donate" utility work, Aaron? Does it require a credit card, or does it lead to PayPal, or what? Thanks, HPH

Randyman

PayPal should let you make a note on the transaction. Just comment where/how you'd like to split your donation.

If you use the right side block on the main forums page (the one that shows the progress toward the goal) then it will automagically state which goal you want the donation to go toward. Thanks :handshake:

Done! :hug:

We've hit the goal but I'm going to leave it open for donations until next weekend because I know there are others that are planning on pitching in. Please pitch in if you can, and haven't already.

Thank you to all that have been so generous and given to this fund. I'm happy that we do these kinds of things. Dixie was very special so this means a lot.

I will get mine off this week. I meant to do it sooner, but life keeps getting in the way. I want to honor Dixie, too. Thanks for being patient.
