    FORUM SUPPORT

    Brief BT3CENTRAL FORUM HISTORY:
    Sam started this forum off with his own money and had a good support group from the old Ryobi Forum to keep things lively. But, due to his unique forum vision, rules and helps, it grew beyond his imagination and everyone's else's imagination.

    RESULT: Need for a larger and continually expanding system. That brings us to the point of this Post.

    EVERY YEAR at about this time, a post has been made to request volunteer contributions to maintain this forum and insure its viability. NONE of these past requests have come from Sam or Adele.

    NEEDS: Sam, could you are Adele chime in and tell us what the monetary needs are for 2006?

    FORUM MEMBERS: If you can, (and we realize that not all can at this time) please pledge some contributions.

    Your Comments - ?

    THANKS SAM and ADELE!

              For those who don't know where to donate, see the link below.
              I looked all over before I found it where it really should be logically. My bad.

                          I'm not sure when my re-curring paypal donation expires, but it will be renewed.

                          This is a great site, the friendliest on the net and I for one really enjoy spending time here.

                          And the help and suggestions I have gotten from the folks here have been very valuable.

                          Thanks to Sam and to all who contribute.

                              I am responding on Sam's behalf. He has basically been sick in bed since Christmas Day. He went to the Urgent Treatment Center Monday and got some medication but it has done nothing. We spent from 2:00 our time today until just about a hour ago going to a second Walk-in clinic. To make a long story short he has a upper chest infection, ear infection, sore throat and neck. So he is currently drugged up pretty well and is not able to reply himself.

                              Sam is in process of changing the site to the new software and had hoped to do that this week, but do to the illness it will be another week or so. Last year when it came donation time we didn't need quite as much as we will this year due to a surplus from the year before. The BT3 account is just about empty this year. Bottom line is we need right at $5,000 this year. You all are a great bunch of guys and gal's (Mrs. Walnut and Sillygoose). Thanks for the support and here is wishing everyone a prosperous and healthly 2006.

                                  Sent mine. Thanks for a great year and here's hoping the new one is even better.

                                  Sorry to hear about Sam. Get well soon!
