2008 Imdiscog.com Annual Fundraiser

You may have noticed here on the main news page that there's a Paypal link. Of course, you may not have because it's kind of off to the side of the frame and down a ways. Anyway, it's not free running a website like this and because this is not a commercial site, I'm not making a dime.

But with the cost of webhosting and software upgrades, we're dependent on either my pocketbook or yours to keep this site running. So with that in mind...here's how you can help out.

For the Top donation received (of $10 or more) by October 31st, I'll send a free Small Planes promotional photo courtesy of WhatAreRecords.com.

These photos aren't available any longer, and you probably won't find these on Ebay very often. Click the donate icon below to read the disclaimer and find out how you can donate to Imdiscog.com and also see the operational costs for the last several years.
