You all are just wonderful!
When I tell folks how much it costs to print and mail this paper...and
then tell them that we only have our advertisers and our readers to count
on for upwards of and sometimes more than $200,000 a year....folks just
don't believe me. None of the "experts" on publishing said we could do
what we do...
Those experts just did not
know the Scottish community and the genealogical community!
In the Great Book of Heroes
of My Life, each and every one of you folks who are Postage Heroes is
written down! There are no Hollywood heroes any bigger than each and every
one of you. Some folks are fortunate and can contribute very
generously...others send what they can...and I always think of "The
Widow's Mite" when I get a few coins Scotch-taped to a little piece of
cardboard. We have folks who send us their Social Security increase the
first month...we have folks who give me a check whenever and however often
they see me at Highland Games and events...There are others who send us
amounts that are so generous I am flabbergasted and amazed when I open
their checks.
Thank you.
Please remember, we've done
it this time...but we will have to do it next time...AFTER the USPS has
once again raised the nonprofit mailing rate (Six hairs turned gray just
writing that down!). Please think of us when you write checks.
Just send your Postage Hero
check to: The Family Tree, PO Box 2828, Moultrie, GA 31776-2828.
Here are the Postage Heroes for this time. If you see any of them
anywhere, please give them a big hug for me!
