Hello Fellow Classmates!

The cost of keeping the web site has not been met by donations so I'm looking for your help. So far we've had one donation from Bill Johnson, class of 1953. Thanks again Bill!

Our annual cost for the web site, including the software we're using (not counting the donated time by my self and others) is just over $250 per year. However, I've been paying out of my pocket for most of this, lately. I know that the Alumni has had money in the bank for awhile but it has also been depleting too so I'm trying not to depend on that.

I've created a Poll to get your feedback. It's located on the home page of our web site on the right. Please vote to let us know what you think. Right now our only alternative is to use Google Ads to help support it. It looks like that's what we'll have to do to keep it going.

So far, of the 47 who have voted, here are the results:

• Allowing Google Ads to be on the site to support the cost of it: 29 votes, 61.7%
• Paying $25 for a lifetime to support the web site: 8 votes, 17%
• Paying $5 - $10 per year to support the web site: 6 votes, 12.8%
• Not sure right now: 3 votes, 6.4%
• I really don't think the site should continue so I don't care: 1 votes, 2.1%

I know there are more than 1000 classmates who should see this. We need more of you to respond so we can get a more accurate representation.

If you've already received this on Facebook, please forgive the duplication. We just want to make sure everyone has a chance to respond.

On another note: there is a 1960s-70s Class reunion taking place this weekend. I hope you all are having an awesome time. My understanding is that they had over 100 classmates respond. Sorry I missed it. Please share photos and info on the Alumni Site or on the Facebook Group page.

God bless!
