Mike,
Yep, we'd like to spend every dollar on trees!
Until we think of the help we get from having our own Dr. Nina
and the experts on the forum, and . . it goes on and on - It
just gets worth more the longer I am here to use or just enjoy it.


Our Paypal address it to Lynn Boyd, IBC


And what, you may ask, are you paying for if you elect to
donate to support the Internet Bonsai Club (IBC)?

1. The mailing list. It is hosted very efficiently and
safely by the folks at LSoft. You can't imagine how much
spam (or even viruses and worms) their filter systems keep
off the mailing list.

(You folks who read on rec.arts.bonsai gain that benefit,
too, because all mail FROM the list to R.A.B. goes though
their filters.)

2. The Archives. We maintain at all times about 3-years'
worth of archives of list and RAB messages so you can go
back and search for those important posts on brown junipers,
dying serissa, etc. http://home.ease.lsoft.com/Archives/bonsai

3. The IBC home page (address below) that includes a
growing Knowledge Base of valuable information on growing,
designing, and protecting your bonsai, and our galleries,
which have turned into one of the most popular (if not THE
most popular) bonsai sites on the World Wide Web.

What are you NOT you paying for with your valuable
contributions?

You aren't paying a cent to a growing number of volunteers
who help keep things going on the list and on the website --
Shelly Hurd, list manager; Terry Robbins, webmaster; half a
dozen IBC gallery moderators; the folks who oversee the
weekly IBC chat sessions; the ones who write the informative
articles in our Knowledge Base; and others, like me, who
simply meddle in everything.

Mind you . . . NO ONE IS REQUIRED TO DONATE A CENT to the
IBC. It has always been a free part of the Internet and
hopefully, it always will be free.

But "free" doesn't mean "without costs." Your help will be
appreciated -- A LOT.

There's a direct Paypal link on the web site. Or, again,
Lynn's address is:

Lynn Boyd. Treasurer, IBC
206 Lakeland Dr.
Lakeside, OR 97449

Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL - List
Manager, emeritus
