A short Update:
:thankyou

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.

The Donate Button is still activated, so you still have time to help!

Thank you again!
:thanku
BCAW Members are the BEST!

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the
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.
:thanku
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!!
:thanku

The banner says it best!

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!
:wow: :cheerlead: :wow:

Wow, I had my credit card ready to make a donation, and the amount needed has already been exceeded!!!! I am still willing to donate, put it in the pot for next year. I just have to know where to go to do it? :wave


Thank you sooooooooooo much...I think donations exceeded our greatest expectations!!!!...gigi will make a decision about further donations....so stay tuned...
Hi Donna, Let's see if our extra is enough for the software upgrade. Since we do not get any interest from paypal, no sense in keeping a lot there.
Thank you so much for your kind offer! :loveshow:

State of The BCAW Bank

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.
