Dear Listers,
Each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the continued operation
and upgrade of the List services at Matronics. It's solely through the
Contributions of List members that these Matronics Lists are possible. There
is NO advertising to support the Lists. You might have noticed the conspicuous
lack of flashing banners and annoying pop-ups on the Matronics Email List email
messages and web site pages such as the Matronics List Forums (
http://forums.matronics.com ), the List Wiki ( http://wiki.matronics.com), or
other related pages such as the List Search Engine (
http://www.matronics.com/search ), the List Browser (
http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse ), etc. This is because I believe in a
List experience that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - namely
Airplanes and not about annoying advertisements.
During the month of November I will be sending out List messages every couple of
days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your
patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular messages.
The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all
of the bills associated with running these lists. Your personal Contribution
counts!
Once again, this year I've got a terrific line up of free gifts to go along with
the various Contribution levels. Most all of these gifts have been provided
by some of the vary members and vendors that you'll find on Matronics Lists and
have been either donated or provided at substantially discounted rates.
This year, these generous people include Bob Nuckolls of the AeroElectric
Connection (http://www.aeroelectric.com/), Andy Gold of the Builder's Bookstore
(http://www.buildersbooks.com/), and Jon Croke of HomebuiltHELP
(http://www.homebuilthelp.com/).
These are extremely generous guys and I encourage you to visit their respective
web sites. Each one offers a unique and very useful aviation-related product
line. I would like publicly to thank Bob, Andy, and Jon for their generous
support
of the Lists again this year!!
You can make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods this
year including using a credit card, PayPal, or by personal check. All three
methods
afford you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with
a qualifying Contribution amount!!

I would like to thank everyone in advance for their generous financial AND moral
support over the years!
