We're Almost There: First Quarter '03 FReepathon Now Underway .. Thread 7

.... ...
The Free Republic first quarter '03 FReepathon is now underway!

Our goal for this fundraiser is the same as last quarter: $65,000. We have about $4,000 per month coming in from monthly donors so we will need to raise approx $53,000 to hit the target.
The funds raised through these fundraisers are used to pay our operating costs. Free Republic operates on an approximate $260,000 annual budget (breakdown here) and all funds are provided by donations from FReepers and Lurkers.

Thank you all very much for your continued support.
P.S. We are planning to make FreeRepublic.com email addresses available as a thank you to all who donate at least once per year. This new feature should be ready to go within a few days. We will post a notice and a link for donors to setup their FR email address as soon as it's ready.
Donate to FR and help us keep the lights on for the best political forum on the NET!

Correct.....no Costco in Roseburg. WISH there was.

[nicmarlo]

What's your cookie personality?

Enquiring Minds Want to Know! : )

My cookie personality is: you guessed it:

Your score is 23. Your Cookie Personality is:
The Favorite.

The Favorite is regarded with particular affection and esteem and ultimately preferred above all others.

Huh, imagine THAT!!! :)

[sneakypete]

Pete as an "Avid" fan of women's tennis,

Yup,that's me!

I thought that you might want a ping, even if your beloved Anna is not featured.

Thank you. While I realize this is a minor insult to Anna,it's only right to let the other stars shine a little,too! These girls will do just fine until Anna shows up again.

[justshe]

LOL........oh my. What a trip THAT must have been. So many things we did when we were young and foolish. The Lodge at Crater Lake had a HUGE facelift a couple of years ago but they were able to maintain the interior in all of it's beauty. Not much has changed up there. Was the road AROUND the crater open when you were there?

[Pete-R-Bilt]

Need saltpeter to keep it fresh - or make powder.

hmm, exploding moose bologna? you may just have something there...

[justshe]

Rotti......curiosity question.

Why doesn't THIS:
Receipts $50,509.13
Monthlies $5,781.06

Add up to $62,944 listed on the bar graph at the top? Does the 62,944 include pledged monies--but not receipted yet? Never noticed the difference before.

[RottiBiz]

The best thing about the Scoreboard is, it constantly changes.

Look in the extreme lower right hand corner of the Scoreboard and you will see that we now have 320 monthly donors (up 45%) and total monthly donations of $5,781 (up 38%).

[glock rocks]

hey, Pete.

[kayak]

The increase in monthlies is just FRantastic!

[EdReform]

"The 'process' to set up a monthly is so easy now..."

Agreed! It's easy! And safe! I've had no problems at all. I especially like getting the advance notice via email, which gives me the option to make changes before my CC is charged.

"and don't you think that all the 'monthly' tag lines helped too?"

Absolutely!! I believe that Tag Lines have really helped to increase the number of monthly donors.

[CPT Clay]

I really thought that more than 100 freepers in Texas would donate.

[Pete-R-Bilt]

morning, how's tricks?

[chnsmok]

Oh my. Bob Dylan? Oh my.

[EdReform]

I'll bet there are more than 100 donations from Texas. Lots of Freepers and Lurkers mail in checks or use PayPal, and those donations aren't included in the running total on the scoreboard.

[Carry_Okie]

i've got blisters on my fingers!

And a TON of persistence too, my friend...

[ValerieUSA]

Yes, the road around the crater was open then, and we drove it with the last gallon of gas we had at dusk. *L* Brilliant. But it was so pretty!

[glock rocks]

i really do enjoy helping.

[justshe]

Morning, kayak, Pete!
