"An explanation"
Donations come from non-members and members. Then there are members (not even a hand full) that donate on a regular monthly basis. We (mycockpit.org users), appreciate this tremendously. Of course we can't forget our volunteer staff, without them, it would be a horror to keep up with all the functions to keep the site running. I thank them with all my heart.
Just a little statistics as of this writing. This year:
PLEASE READ ON........ :
- 48 donors have made contributions
- 76 donations have been made
- 91,000 visitors visit the site monthly
- 9 million +++ hits in October
Just so you would know, ALL monies donated go directly to the expense of the operation of mycockpit.org and no where else. I will stop accepting donations, once we have enough donations to meet expenses. That's a promise.
An example of expenses: Server lease and management for one year is approximately $4,000. That's just part of the many expenses to run MyCockpit and it's programs. We've been able to keep the expenses at a minimum, but as MyCockpit continues to grow, so does our expenses. Needless to say, our expenses to maintain mycockpit.org is much greater then $4,000.
We need your help, and in particular, we need your donations, please.
