Beer Run

Our local NPR station had a fund drive not long ago that set a goal for the number of new donors rather than a dollar amount. I think that worked well for them. A lot of people joined, and even with smaller donations, the volume was such that the drive was very successful.

I may be wrong, but I think that pointing out the amount of ones donation, particularly if it is significant, may be discouraging to people who would like to contribute, but are unable give that much.

I know that Wendell and Angel are gratified by every modest effort. Don't feel that your contribution isn't important or appreciated.

Indeed, you stated that very well. We appreciate any amount because it all helps us pay the bills.

$1 or $1,000,000 -- it all helps. Um, well, ok, if you gave a million, I might fly out in my new jet and personally buy you a beer.

Thanks Don. 🙂

Hmm...

So 1 million might get me a visit from Wendell with beer, but no swag. The next question is, how much is a visit from Angel worth - with swag?

I think I've just melted down my HP48, trying to calculate it. 😛

Fantastic video Radar!

Wendell, I love the graphic too.

Does it make any sense to put this somewhere on the main page, even clickable for people to donate by clicking the graphic?

BeerAid -- UPDATE

Another update!

I've added the Beer Mug graphic to the main post at the top as a thumbnail. Just click on it to enlarge and I'll try to keep it updated every few days or so.
