Dear Members, Parent-2-Parent has been growing (first as Reflux in Children) for over 6 years. In that time the site was solely funded by the owners and a few others who have donated funds. We have had minimal advertising, and have never asked for donations from the general members. Unfortunately, we have grown to a point where we absolutely need to purchase our own server. A cost we are not able to incur at this time. You've probably noticed a variety of fundraising efforts happening site-wide. One of the ways we're reaching out to our members is through Avatars We will no longer be offering large-size avatars (150 pixels X 200 pixels) for free, instead will be offering free Avatars at a smaller size: 75 pixels X 100 pixels. Full-Size Avatars will be able to be purchased for at a one-time cost of $5.00, as well as available to anyone who donates that amount or more to the site. We are selling 'Rememberbands' at a cost of $3.00 and $3.50. These are available on a pre-order basis only. Visit http://www.parent-2-parent.com/fundraising/wristbands.html for more information. Parent-2-Parent is offering a Quarterly Newsletter (something we've LONG wanted to do). Our first edition will be coming out in March of 2006. Visit http://www.parent-2-parent.com/fundraising/newsletter.html for more information. We do not enjoy having to ask our membership for support, but we are in a position of needing to purchase a dedicated server as soon as possible. Any help is greatly appreciated. Also, if you have any questions at any time you can email us directly at fundraising@parent-2-parent.com. We sincerely thank you, Dawn, Kim, Cathy, Jennifer and Holly PS, we do not expect donations from everyone. We completely understand if you are not able to donate. The avatar is the only current feature which will change. You will still be able to enjoy all other current features offered on Parent-2-Parent. We want you to know that we will always be here to offer support and friendship to those in need. Please note, all P2P donations are completely separate from Newsletter Subscriptions, Wristband purchases and Cafe Press purchases. |
