With all the winning, I want to add my reflections from the last two campaigns.
Wyoming to name names, has had no contributions at all. The only state not participating unless somehow through Never Never Land. WY is thought to be one of the most Conservative States in the Union, until Jackson, and reservation land is factored in, and yet Zero participation. Just one of those hmmmmm question moments for me.
I meant to get back to this post and respond to you. Sorry it took so long. I try to respond to everyone, but once in a while I do miss a few comments to me as far as responses go.
As FReepers, I think we can and should do better to help Jim and all the folks that are dedicated to the FReep-a-thon campaigns.
It is unconscionable that we force the staff to work their butts off for all but two weeks of any given campaign. They only get to rest for a week or two, and they’re back at it.
Some of these folks are beyond the years when they should be dedicating this much time. It’s a hardship. Still, they have great big hearts and a tremendous sense of dedication. I really respect what they do.
Some states don’t pay as much as I’d like to see. I realize that. I really don’t want to call them out though.
If people value this forum, they will support it. If they don’t, they won’t, and we’ll know.
I’m glad that people from my state support the forum to the degree they do.
I appreciate every donation, big or small.
Anyone reading this should do some self-assessment and help out more. The most important thing is to join the monthlies.
We need to push that very hard.
Thank you very much, wita!! Go, Wyoming!!
