Locked Donations sticky


 
Edited

This sticky will keep track of who donated what because we should have no secrets here, of course. Therefore, every donation will be posted here. In that way, if you donate you'll be able to see that it has been acknowledged. Thus we can all keep track of the money together. Right now, our current? goal is $220 so that we can buy the premium features for one year and really start to build this site.

Once we reach the target amount I will immediately turn on premium features by subscribing to them for all of us.

To donate, simply PayPal to:

thombone@...

... and please remember to choose "send to a friend" or "donation" and NOT "pay for goods or services" because if you do choose "pay for goods or services" then PayPal will charge a fee. If you choose "send to a friend" then there will be no fee and we will receive the full amount. Thank you.

Donations so far, so be updated as they come in:

We will apply the credit balance towards next year! THANK YOU!?

Thank you we will do the upgrade now and we will get to work together on building up our library Etc.

UPDATE 2-6-20: Also, I will set up the necessary account so that we can do the donations from directly. Within this website in the future. That way we won't even have to use PayPal anymore. And it won't attract the donations automatically. I'll be getting to work on that soon. I have some temporary medical things going on. But I'm doing a lot of work in the background in order to get the site fully operational, still. Patience, please.

And in the interest of full disclosure here is the receipt save for the credit card information ;-) I think I'll keep that Anonymous hahaha.

WE ARE NOW PREMIUM until 1-21-21. I will set up a stripe account before next year so that we can do the donations for the upgrade next year from right Within this website. But because this was the first time I didn't want to go through all of that because I wasn't sure what the group conscience was going to be, to be honest. But now that we all know, I'll set everything else up properly for next time. We won't have to use PayPal anymore then.?

Thank you.?

And now it's time to advertise that we're here and what our purpose is. People should at least be told about it so that they can choose whether to come here or not. Any help that anyone reading this can give would be appreciated, because we all win when we work together.

I agree with the social media idea. But we need to determine what our "target market" is or we will generate a lot of people who sign up but are not really interested in history or have much to contribute.Any?
Do we want just "historians" amateur or professional??
Just anyone interested in AA History?
Just anyone in AA?

I will be happy to put something on the sites I participate in--once we come up with who we want to spread the word to and what we want to say...

"To those AA History buffs who participated in the now defunct Yahoo "AA History Lovers" AAHL Group, or just for those interested in AA history, the new site with all of the AAHL archives can be found at? ________________ and you can sign up there."

Needs polish--depending on what we want to say and to whom.?

Jim, that is really good. Would you be willing to head up the ad hoc on this? You're doing a great job already. I'm happy to start a chat room or you could start a thread and I'll make it sticky while you collect any brainstorms on the matter? I just have a feeling that as a group we would write one heck of a mission statement!
