Summer Fundraiser, Too Slow For Comfort

Another $90 from four people came in yesterday, bringing the total raised so far to $1,125 from 28 people. That leaves $2,875 from 78 people to go to reach the overall goals of $4,000 from 100 people on or about June 5. Thanks to all of you who've contributed so far.

Look, I'll level with you all: this fundraiser is going far too slowly for comfort and I don't know what to attribute it to. I know the economy still stinks--trust me, I know that intimately--but the last fundraiser went fairly smoothly during what was arguably a more dicey economic moment, so I'm a bit lost in all of this. Even two regular readers and contributors wrote me yesterday, concerned about how poorly the fundraiser is going to date. What causes me to scratch my head even more is that traffic on this site has been booming lately and there are just as many regular readers as there were three months ago (about 5,000).

My big hope is that today will be the day people start contributing in droves--and there have been fundraiser days in the past where 20 people made contributions--because the first of June is looming large and I can assure one and all that finances are super tight at the FS HQ. Scary tight.

So I can only ask that as many of you as possible contribute what you can today. I could really use the boost, psychologically and otherwise.

As usual, the PayPal button is on the right. Or if you prefer snail mail, then send me an email and I'll shoot you my mailing address.

Thanks in advance for your support.
