One of the things that always impressed me with our site is we never had to worry about raising the funds for the year. For a number of years we seemed to break records on how fast the goal could be achieved.Those days seemed to have died. We could probably point the finger at Covid or a poor economy, but the bottom line is our donating community is shrinking. A few years ago within a month we would have had over 300 individual donators. This year 2 months into the drive and we only have had 174 donations with a couple of members donating twice.Our yearly costsServer Lease $6,200cPanel account $772Domain name renewals $500 estimate• Sim-outhouse.com 4 years @ $25 /year• Sim-outhouse.net paid until 2028• Ronnylarson.com 5 years @ $25 /year• Hall18.com 5 years @ $25 / year• Hall-18.com 5 years @ $25 / year• ford-tri-motor.net (.com, .org) TBDTotal $7,472For those of you who have donated Thank You.For those who have not Please Donate
