2026 Website Collection Completed

I want to take this opportunity to let everyone know that we have completed our 2026 fund drive to replenish our web maintenance support fund. Costs continue to increase but thanks to Jerry, the creator and webmaster of our site who generously donates his time and expertise, our costs are far less than they would be if we had to subscribe to a commercial service.

Costs for the site for this current year were $700 but they vary from year to year depending upon need. At the beginning of this cycle we had depleted most of the funds and I had only a small remaining balance. Jerry estimates at the end of each year what costs will be for the next year and I then provide him with the funds he needs to keep the website up for the year. That is why I try and keep funds on hand ahead of time.

Our fund drive this year raised $1,520 thanks to the efforts of the ride coordinators and the generous contributions from all who participated. Due to this effort we will most likely not need to solicit contributions for at least a couple of years!!

Again, your support for the website is greatly appreciated.
