No matter what form it takes, I think we can all agree that the list/photo album makes owning an old C&C much better than most other types. I have some thru-hulls sitting around that have never been used. I'll find a good one and pick a good price for it. Someone can send the money straight to Stu and I'll mail it to you. I'll post some details when I dig it out.

Over the years, I've sporadically made donations, but maybe, like public radio, we need to have a declared fundraiser around the same time every year with a stated goal that must be reached before the fundraiser stops. The goal should be high enough to cover normal expenses PLUS the inevitable upgrades and other costs incurred. Stu does so much work for us, that it seems only fair that he should never have to dig in his own pocket for anything related to the website or list. I have no idea what Stu spends every year, but maybe we can find out, and do a gofundme.com<http://gofundme.com> campaign with a goal thermometer or gas gauge every year as part of spring commissioning season. I think having something that graphically shows fundraising progress towards the goal is important. That would let people check to see if we are doing enough, or if we need to push harder. Some might see the thermometer moving too slowly and go back again with a little more cash to keep it moving. There will always be some who don't participate, so those that do, need to realize their donations need to be a little higher to cover that.
