I'm a bit overwhelmed at the response.. Thank you very much for the support and encouragement. It's just what I needed to counteract the negativity I've been recieving. I appreciate it more than I can express.

I'm a fan of the monthly Patreon contributions. Scott could you advise what cut Patreon takes per transaction? I could either adjust my contribution accordingly or switch to sending money directly.

It's 12.5%, so basically 25 cents out of every $2

I'll see about upping my monthly Paypal contribution (can't right this instant). I'm happy to know you're getting a great response, although a little down you had to ask for it. Perhaps some sort of periodic fundraising message, silly contest, or some such, to get attention might help? It seems many agree WIX is quite worth it.

Which is the best option for you, Scott ? PayPal or Patreon ? I'm a bit annoyed with both of these companies for their political statements, but there are no real alternatives I can think of.

I'm also on a very tight budget so I wouldn't be able to give more than a couple of $ every month, but WIX is one of the few websites I visit regularly so it seems fair I should contribute to it.

One thing I might be able to do is try advertising on your website since I offer prints that might be of interest to your visitors. Would it be possible to get in touch by email to see what advertising possibilities you can offer ? Here also, I'd be on a limited budget but maybe that could be a more interesting option for both of us.

Either one is fine. Patreon is a bit newer to me but also charges slightly less than paypal. I also like the blog aspect of Patreon, which I want to utilize more. You can find the Patreon site at https://www.patreon.com/warbirdsresourcegroup.

Thanks for the support!

Hey Scott thank for all you do with this site, I sent you $50 by paypal. One thing I might say is maybe every 6 months or so put out another reminder for donations so people like me will remember. I know I should remember but like a lot of people I have a lot going on, and only speaking for myself my poor brain probably wont remember to give again. Thanks again Scott.
