As of this morning, we have received $230.00 from generous donors to fund BCAW for one more year. After PayPal fees, that translates into $220.30 which is more than we need to meet our goal of funding just the domain name and the subscription fees. This year BCAW is in great need of a software update so any extra funds will go towards paying an IT professional to help Mary Anne with the update. We so not have an estimate on that, so know that if you still would like to donate, the money will be put to good use. Thank you again! BCAW Members are the BEST! |

donation button will come down later this evening. As I mentioned in my previous post, we have met our goal of funding the forum for another year! Thank you to everyone who so generously support us financially. We can't do this without you! We are fortunate to have almost $125 extra to help pay for a much needed software update. We do not know how much exactly this is going to cost, so what I am trying to say is this: It's not too late to click the donate button! I cannot express enough gratitude to all of our wonderful members. Your financial support is awesome, but your interest and your dedication to making BCAW great are the best! Thanks everyone!! |

We have enough for our BCAW subscription and domain annual fees and then some. Because of the generosity of many, $310.00 was donated with a net of $297.40 to add to our previous balance of $38.61. So all you math whizzes, yes it is a grand total of $336.01! Skygirlblue [aka Mary Anne] reports that fees have been paid until July 21, 2017. The balance will be used for the software upgrade. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are the best of the best! |

Hello BCAW Members! It is that time of year again when we ask for donations to keep the BCAW forum running. This year our subscription fees for the forum and the domain name are $163.48. As it turns out we had $171.01 in our account from 2016. Mary Anne had planned to do some software upgrading, but never got a chance to do that, so all of our extra from last year was still available. The good news is we are NOT opening the donate button at this time. If Mary Anne decides to do the software update, we will collect funds then. So thank you for another year of fabulous bird watching and sharing your passion through Bird Cams Around the World. |
