As many of you know I broke both of my wrist, a hand and an elbow recently and therefore am not able to work my pressure washing and painting business right now, with one arm in a cast and the other in a particle cast. Therefore, I do not have the funds to pay all the expenses related to Miracles In Progress 12 Step Recovery Forums at this time.
There are a few immediate needs that I will need help with if you are willing and able to do so.
The Message Board Newsletter Mailing List, which can be subscribed to at the top of this board, is set up to a maximum number of subscribers of 3000. It currently has over 1600. It cost $ 99.95 per year @ $ 8.33/mo. (More if paid by the month instead of annually - 10.95 per month). It's payment of 99.95 needs to be paid within the next 30 days for us to continue utilizing it. While this feature is not a must have, it helps people who want to be sent an occasional newsletter with Al-Anon and group related information sent to them, and it keeps me from having to send out bulk emails to everyone registered on the message board, who do not want to recieve bulk emails simply because they registered to use the message board. I feel it is a vital option we should offer our members.
This message board cost us 179.40 per year @ 14.95 per month (Again, more if paid by the month instead of annually - 17.95 per month) our current billing cycle is about to hit us again, as it is set for Tuesday, Dec. 13th, 2012. If we can't pay the bill, they will take down the board until we can pay for it. I'm asking everyone to keep this from happening by helping me generate the funds to cover its expense.
Lastly, the Miracles In Progress 12 Step Recovery Forums web site as a whole, which host the main page, each groups home page, chatroom entrance, etc, cost 191.40 per year @ 15.95 per month. (if paid monthly it too cost more, 17.95 per month.) It's hosting cost becomes due again on Friday, December 9th, 2012, and needs to be paid in order for the site to stay on the internet at all.
I have always paid the annual price of everything on this site, in a effort to save a few dollars and strongly suggest we continue to do so.
If you are willing to donate as little as 10.00 towards this effort, I am sure that collectively we will be able to cover our current expenses, as well as pay a bit in advance to offset our future expenses.
I use paypal, which you can access using the Donate graphic at the top and bottom of this board. You can use a debit or credit card to make your donation.

Bless you, John, for all you do. Sent a small check today--wish it were more. Sorry it's coming my snail--I have issues with PayPal. Is there a group for that? Hope you are all healed soon. Temple
