Please listen to the "duck" quacking!  These folks did! We thank them!

We COULD NOT EXIST without your kindness & generosity!  If you have watched television recently for  more than 6-seconds, you've seen the little duck that becomes quite exasperated when nobody will listen to him telling which insurance company will protect them in time of need.  He quacks and quacks and nobody pays any attention.  Bless his little feathered heart.

Sometimes, I feel like that duck.  Folk will say, "Beth, you're kidding, right?  The Family Tree doesn't really need money so badly, does it?" "QUACK! Quack! QUACK!" 

I am NOT kidding. I don't know how to say it more plainly.  Without your Postage Hero help, this paper would not be in your hands at this moment and your editor would be flipping hamburgers somewhere!  The recent downturn in our economy has made our situation worse.  Understandably, you just don't think about something like a genealogical newspaper when there's a war going on and your own financial situation has taken a downturn. 

With all that in mind, without your Postage Hero help, this paper would not be in your hands at this moment.  It would die. It's not the kind of thing that can stop for an issue or two and then go again.  Once it misses one issue, it would be impossible to  sell any advertising at all ever again.

The advertisers take care of about half of the costs of this publication.  YOU are the other half!

Thankfully, I'm starting to see things going back to a more "normal" way.  Checks are once again coming in...but we did not have a full postage deposit last time.  That means this paper started "in the hole" in my simple mathematical language.

If you enjoy this paper or if you think it is important to keep this paper going...please think of us when next you write checks.

If you see any of the following folks, please thank them for helping with the never-ending expense of mailing The Family Tree. If you have made a postage contribution, please know how much it is appreciated.  Thank you!

Without your Postage Hero help, this paper would not be in your hands at this moment and your editor would be flipping hamburgers somewhere! 

"QUACK! Quack! QUACK!"
