Many thanks! Gracias! TMV’s fundraising goal of $2500 has now been reached with a total $2519.
A million thanks to all of you who help TMV thrive and survive and have helped pay off the bill for the redesign — and another debt that was due. TMV now enjoys a modest reserve, but we are hoping that in 2016 with the new design we can finally add some new advertising so the TMV bank account can grow and be used for more upgrades.
A special thanks to all of YOU who helped us meet the goal — and special special thanks to jdledell who first matched, then tripled donations to TMV which allowed us to reach our goal quickly.
And the future? The fundraiser is now over as of this post — but we do welcome any donations anyone wants to make as time goes on, big or small, and always encourage readers to have a group donate if they like what we do (realizing it will not be a factor in the kinds of posts we put up).
December 2014 – December 2015 proved to be one of the most costly in TMV’s 12 year history — but all of you cushioned the blow. And with the new design (not yet done..there are some quirks to be ironed out) all of us at TMV are excited as we head into the news year.
Gracias otra vez!
