It's that time again... 2009 donation drive

[heavyharmonies]

Yes kiddies, it's that wonderful time of the year, time for the quasi-annual Heavy Harmonies donation drive. It's part of what enables HH to remain free for everyone to use.

 

Keeping the site going costs bucks, and as you can see from the donations page, it's not uncommon to go a month or so without any donations at all...

 

I realize that times are tough for everyone, and with the economy being as craptacular as it is, everyone's counting their pennies. Unfortunately, the company that provides the server, the server admin, and the bandwidth, doesn't give me a break because the economy sucks.

 

In addition to the hard server costs, there are additional monthly fees for this board and the radio station feed. All told, my costs run about $200 a month.

 

The drive will run through June 15.

 

No great ideas for the prizes, so I'm going to simplify a bit:

1. For every $5 you donate, you'll get an entry into a drawing I'll hold the last week of June following the end of the donation drive. There will be 5 sets of prizes, each containing 5-10 random CDs. Some will be HH-worthy, some will be complete and utter crap... basically what I have lying around. But hey, isn't it fun getting random CDs in the mail for free, no matter how useless they are?
    
   
2. Shipping and insurance of the prizes is on me; CDs will be shipped without jewel cases to save on postage.
    
   
3. At the end of the drive, donors will be listed on the donors page unless you prefer not to be listed.
    
   
4. PayPal donation links are found at the top of all the pages on the main site, or if you'd prefer to send a money order, check, or cash (not recommended, but I know some people prefer to do so), you can make payable to Dan Harding and send to:
    
   Heavy Harmonies
   P.O. Box 17212
   Urbana, IL 61803
   USA
   

Regardless of the form of the prizes, please donate because you enjoy using the site, not because you think you might win a prize.

 

Once again, your support is greatly appreciated!
