We had at least double the number of contributors that we had last time. Obviously the average donation was smaller.
In the past we've had some big donors, who when we bogged down came in with a big hit or a big challange to generate excitement. We did not need that this time.
I would guess that 75% of the donors this time were first time donors.
In the past some large donors wound up giving three to five thousand dollars to keep us going. That was definately not necessary this time.
I am so very pleased that a much larger portion of our readers and posters pitched in with their posts and their money.
This is truely a breakout for our participants and I see FR having a big growth this coming year.
Now to my team 2nd, BIS, WIMom, Topaz, 1John, Clikker, Palo Verde and all (I hope I have't missed anyone) . I thank you very very much. It would not have been possible without you. May God Bless you and your families.
