Re: Premium Group renewal fee is due this month

Yahoo Groups is not a thing, but Groups.io is. We've been here, what, two years or so now? And the reason for being here still more or less in the Yahoo format is that we have a great deal of useful info that was worth saving. AFAIAC, this IS a great forum, or I wouldn't be here. YMMV, of course!

I didn't even know yahoo groups was still a thing. I always thought it was a lousy format. Save your money and get on Garage Journal, or one of many other great forums. Just being honest.

I've got $116 left of the contributions donated last year, but cannot afford to cover the rest of the $220 they want. They have a method to accept donations through an organization called Stripe. GIO charges a 2% premium to use that service, and Stripe charges an unknown amount to make a donation via there service. The examples on their website seem to be a bit over 10%, which I feel is highway robbery! I can accept donations through Paypal, and if you make them using the Friends and Family option, there is no charge. Since we're not a business, that should be fine. I need a total of $84 in donations to cover the fee. I'm kicking in $20 myself, and if twenty people can donate $4.20, that will cover the amount I'm short. I would prefer not to get donations over the amount we need, as I'm in my late 60's, and I wouldn't want to die and possibly lose the extra money for the group.?
If you care to make a donation, send it to wmrmeyers (AT) sbcglobal (DOT) net? My understanding is that if you put a note on it, they consider a business transaction, and charge their premium. Think that's 4%. Just post a note on the in this thread that you've contributed if you feel like it. The renewal is paid by credit card, so the group won't get shut down if I don't get the money before the renewal date, which is December 22nd. I know that a lot of folks are a little tight in the wallet right now. It won't hurt me if some of the contributions come in after the first of the year. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year even if you don't celebrate those holidays!?
