TYPEWRITER TALK FUNDRAISER!
Here's the deal:
We need to raise $168 USD to keep Typewriter Talk running for the following year.
(That breaks down to 17 members donating $10, 12 members donating $15, or 9 members donating $20.)
This poll will determine if there are enough people willing to make a contribution, and if there aren't the forum will unfortunately simply shut down.
THE DEADLINE FOR THIS POLL IS 21-SEP-26.

Hi Uwe,
I voted for the "custon donation" and would pledge $ 50 on a yearly basis.

Re: TYPEWRITER TALK FUNDRAISER!
Greetings All
As Typewriter-Talk has been going since March of 2013 and has been a great resource, especially in my earlier years of typewriter collecting when I was asking lots of questions, I figure the least I can do is to chip in a little to help. The US dollar to Canadian dollar exchange makes everything on the US side rather pricy, but I'm willing to do what I can afford. All the best,
Sky
We humans go through many computers in our lives, but in their lives, typewriters go through many of us.
In that way, they’re like violins, like ancestral swords. So I use mine with honor and treat them with respect.
I try to leave them in better condition than I met them. I am not their first user, nor will I be their last.

Re: TYPEWRITER TALK FUNDRAISER!
I concur Sky, and now that it looks like we have enough donors to keep things going for the next year, I'll have to figure out the best way to pay for it given the exchange rate is going to be a big hit.
I'll make the payment on Monday, and in the meantime I still need to know who donated what since the poll doesn't provide that information. Here's the list I have so far:
Pete E. $50
Uwe $20
Souce $20
? $20
? $20
? $20
? $20
? $15
? $15

Hi Uwe,
When you are ready for us to send money, let me know.
I have a Venmo account and can send cash from my bank account if you have an account.
I no longer use PayPaly...so if Venmo does not work for you, I can just send a personal check in the mail.

Re: TYPEWRITER TALK FUNDRAISER!
I'm in for $15.00 US (that's about $25.00 CAD), PayPal works for me too.
