FReepathon CHALLENGE: FREEPERS OFFER MATCHING $$ FOR NEW MONTHLY DONORS!
self ^ | July 22, 2007 | RobFromGa

Posted on 07/22/2007 12:34:32 AM PDT by RobFromGa

Monthly donors help to keep these Freepathons as short as possible. Right now almost half of the monthly budget requirements are met through monthly contributions-- it would be nice to get that up to 60% or even higher. So, I'd like to continue to encourage new monthly donors in ANY AMOUNT by throwing out a challenge.

NEW MONTHLY DONOR CHALLENGE! I'm throwing out a challenge-- I'll do a lump sum extra donation of $10 for every NEW MONTHLY DONOR that signs up before midnight Eastern tomorrow (Monday)).

# of Monthlies are at 569 for a total of $9,612 at the beginning of this Challenge, so we are close once again to the $10,000 MONTHLY BARRIER real soon.

If you become a new monthly, you will find that it is a painless way to support FR, and we can keep the Freepathons shorter.

Others are encouraged to offer additional matching grants! Let's get rid of the red bar on the top of the forum. Monthlies help us to shorten the freepathons.

Last Freepathon, we got 15 new donors with this challenge.

Please become a monthly donor today!

I am in Austria posting this in the middle of a city square and I will be away from Wi-fi for most of the next couple of days. I hope that others are able to bump this thread somewhat. I will try to do as much as I can. Thanks to all.

I was just at the Brandenburg Gate on Thursday thinking of Ronnie and his “Tear Down this Wall”, and JFK with his “I am a Jelly Donut” speech! I was in Germany on the day the wall fell and I will never forget that day of happiness for all Germans.

THanks for the bumps!

You deserve an "atta-guy" Rob!

If I can be a monthly, anyone can. Completely painless, you get an e mail every month from FR reminding you they'll be taking the payment, and that's it. C'mon, you can't afford $20 a month? $15? $10? $5? You know you can.

Sionnsar, this is a great deal for FReepers to become monthly donors... Could you please ping our Puget Sound Chapter. I am asking our people to become monthly donors - how about $5 bucks a month? Painless - and for the best site on the web. Thanks, Libertina BTTT

OK sign me up for a monthly doner!

I have already made a donation but have only done it quarterly.

Guess the next time i’m in Ga I will at least owe you a cup of coffee!

You are right— being a monthly donor is a fairly painless way to support FR.

And right now if you become a monthly, we’ll kick in an extra $15 for each one. What a deal!

Through Midnight Eastern tonight (Monday)

I have been sending in donations during FReepathons, but I think it's time to join the dollar a day club, lots easier to manage.

The last bastion of civilization on the left coast has got to be worth at least that!

We’re up to 6 new monthlies for a total of another $80 per month, almost to $9700 per month! This is $960 per year, and adding the $90 matching contribitions we’re over $1000 additional per year. I hope we can at least double that number before midnight tonight!
