BUY, SELL AND TRADE TRAWLERS AND TRAWLERING GEAR
View all threadsHelp make BST self-supporting!
All hands--
Trawler Buy-Sell-Trade is a free service to the trawler community--but it does
cost money to operate the board, in addition to volunteer time.
Since inception, I have happily covered the costs myself, because I have the
same passion you do for messing about in boats. And I do want
to keep for-sale messages off the main Trawlers & Trawlering List.
But I no longer own and operate Trawler Fest, so there is not even faint
business motivation for me to continue to underwrite the costs.
My book-keeper tells me I should aim to make BST self-supporting by making an
annual call for donations from the people who use it--especially the brokers
and others who stand to benefit financially from BST.
So, here I am: If you find BST interesting and valuable, and if want it to
continue and grow, please lend a hand by contributing toward expenses. A
donation of just $10 or $25 a year will prove immensely helpful.
To make a voluntary contribution via PayPal or a credit card, please go to
http://www.trawlersandtrawlering.com/supportbuyselltradelist.html.
On the same page, you'll find an address if you wish to contribute by check or
money order.
Have no fears, you won't be badgered about making a donation. I'll report to
you monthly only on fund-raising progress, and publicly thank those who have
stepped forward.
Thank you for your help.

As we started to log contributions in the current fund-raising campaign, we
realized I had neglected to publicly thank and recognize two supporters in
2009; thus, this expression of appreciation to the following:
Tucker Fallon
Alton Fryer
The 2010 campaign has started well. The first list of supporters will be
posted at month's end.
