July 2000 WHY DO INMATES HANG OUT HERE?
BECAUSE:
It’s here.
It’s not something you have to wait for, like that
subscription to Deaf and Even Dumber than Last
Month or that set of speakers FedUP somehow
managed to lose just one of.BECAUSE:
They get to watch cats get herded by the most diligent
(yet seemingly ineffective) moderating team on the web.
Admit it folks, it beats watching cartoons, right?!BECAUSE:
They have money to burn and want advice on the next step.BECAUSE:
They don’t have money to burn and need advice on the
biggest-bang-for-buck. I bet if you did a survey of ‘mates
and asked how much money and misery they’d saved based
on the information they gathered here, it would add up to
a least 2.5 bajillion something-or-anothers.BECAUSE:
It ain’t BannerReview.BECAUSE:
They, and (obviously) you, are addicted."How can I get help for this addiction?" you
may be asking yourself.The short answer is: you can’t, so you might as well
relax and enjoy it— you make your first annual
contribution to the place you can’t seem to stop
visiting. Those of you who have already made your gift
for this year may continue to relax without interruption; we
thank you for your discerning taste and wise investment.
So far, only 5% of registered inmates have made
a contribution to the First Annual Asyla-Thon.
Over the next couple of weeks, we hope to see
this grow to AT LEAST 10% of the total inmate
poulation.It's easy to set aside our calls for support.
You may be thinking that the request is really
intended for someone else ... like sponsors, or
people who give big gifts.Not!
We need everyone’s help with contributions both
large and small. So what are you waiting for???
You spend time here.
You value it.
Please help pay for it.When one considers the projected maintenance and
development goals of the Asylum, it's clear that
the Asylum needs broad-based support. Look here to
learn more about the needs of the Asylum and the
Asyla-Thon Annual Campaign. in general.Don't forget, there are
THANK YOU gifts at all contribution levels.You KNOW it's the right thing to do, so print out this
post and put it with your monthly bills; when you
start writing checks for rent, phone, etc., write
one more for the Asylum.
Please mail your gift to:
AudioAsylum
PO Box 626
Vista, CA 92085-0626Or you can make a gift auto-magically through the Asylum's
On-Line Contribution Center, with PayPal option.Ever grateful,
The Bored of Loonies
Donations to AA are not tax-deductible as a contribution
to charity. We are not a registered 501(c)(3).We really see this campaign as a way for participants
to support something that they value. As members of
the AA community, we hope you'll support that which
you use. Think of the Asylum as an interactive PBS ;-)
sort of thing. We trust that the rather high value of
the THANK YOU! gifts makes up for any tax concerns.For those looking for a deduction, there are plenty
of needy, bona-fide charities out there and we encourage
you to give all you can to such worthy causes.
This post is made possible by the generous support of people like you and our sponsors:
