Dear Friends and
Colleagues --
The NeohioPal list is
invaluable to our theatre community. We
subscribers have benefited tremendously from this free
service and it has become a vital component in the artistic life of each
and every one of us. Each week the list gets bigger; new
subscribers are added every day.
I personally know how
much time, effort, and money it takes to get the postings out to it's
members. But there are other costs involved that subscribers might not be
aware of. They include the daily up-keep and maintenance of the software
as well as the daily operation of the site itself. After ten years of
operation, the time and costs involved really add up!
I always ask myself what
would happen to the Cleveland entertainment area if the list suddenly
disappeared. There are other such services in other cities and each member
pays a yearly subscription. Fred's list has helped you. Now its our
time to support the list.
Do NeohioPal, Cleveland,
Mr. Sternfeld and yourself a favor. Sacrifice one Latte from
Starbuck's, or one burger from the Rush and contribute to the list. And
don't forget; depending on how much you give, that contribution can be used as a
theatre business expense at tax time.
Thanks for taking the
time to read this and my best to all of you!

From: neohiopal-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:neohiopal-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of FSternfeld@xxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2008 10:07 AM To: neohiopal@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [NEohioPAL] Dear Subscribers ... Dear Subscribers,
NEohioPAL is now in it's tenth year
of providing service to the Performing Arts
Community.
Throughout it's history it has been free to all
subscribers and posters and will remain free.
Last year at this time I sent out a request
for voluntary financial support and some of you
responded with great generosity. Thanks once again to those who have supported NEohioPAL!
You can click on this link
to see the list of supporters.
There are many costs to run this list: hosting
fees, software, equipment and
time. Expenses have gone up considerably as the fees from the
new hosting service (listserve.com) are four times more per year than the
previous service (hostway.com).
Once again this year, I am asking you to consider
giving voluntary financial support to
NEohioPAL.
Some people have written to me asking to post to the
list what amount would be appropriate. Historically, the contributions
from individuals have ranged from $10 to $100, and from organizations $25 to
$200.
As you are deciding whether or not to give,
please consider these questions...
What has been the value of NEohioPAL to your
organization or career?
Has it saved you money? Helped you get a job? Assisted in promoting your event, auditions, classes or camps? Kept you informed about happenings around town? Assisted in selling a personal item? If it is within your means and you choose to
provide voluntary financial support - please click on the paypal link here,
OR send a check made out to "NEohioPAL, Ltd." and
send to:
NEohioPAL, Ltd.
c/o Fred Sternfeld 24021 Halburton Rd.

Thanks for your participation in making the arts scene
in the Northeast Ohio region vibrant and
collaborative.
Warm Regards,
Fred Sternfeld
NEohioPAL founder and
administrator
PS - I will post this message to NEohioPAL several
times over the next few weeks and then not ask again until January of next
year. Information on how to support NEohioPAL will always be in the
footer of every posting.
Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year. |
