December 28 2014 www.radioheritage.net Dear friends and financial supporters
Wherever you may be, we hope that the Christmas season is being kind to you and the people important to you. As we approach the last few days of 2014, it's worth reflecting on the good support this project continues to enjoy.....particularly as we're nearing 10 years online....and some challenges we face. These past few weeks we've recovered from a PC crash that almost wiped out 10 years of work. We've been able to save everything but we'll have to back things up in future. We've had a big fright. Now our web host has told us they're closing down in 6 weeks time meaning we'll have to move elsewhere or else. We're tackling that in the next week or so. It will be challenging as we enter 2015, but we will make it through and have even more stories to share during the year. That's why I want to say thanks on behalf of all the team for your commitment and support this past year. Financially we're now only $1,681 away from fully funding our operational costs during 2014...this is a remarkable effort. If you are able to help bridge the gap, with a first time donation, we might fund our costs for the very first time! As you know, we find Paypal works for most everyone, it's at www.radioheritage.net. If you've never made a donation to our project before you have many options, all are acknowledged including our Roll of Honor list, and all are important to us. Thank you. In any event, thank you for your faith in what we're trying to do....the visitors to the website are slightly down on the same time last year but we haven't been able to put as much new material up as we had planned. We'll try and fix that in the coming weeks...and find a new web host so we can share more of what we have with you. We hope acknowledgement as financial supporters on the website continues to be acceptable and enough at this time. We should do more, but we're just not in a position to do anything more. Again, thank you for playing your part in helping keep radio memories alive and available freely to thousands of people each week. We frequently get notes of thanks for the smallest item of value and interest to people looking for a family member, interested in the stories of radio or enjoying the art work. You make it all possible. Season's Greetings Best Wishes for 2015 David Ricquish Chairman Email code PW7 to be removed from this list and allow 15 working days for physical removal from our manually maintained list.
