True dat-- but the issue with go fund me -- while convenient-- they take a pretty big hit of the cash percentage wise-- so ..... if you can spare the first class stamp and can get to the post.... more of your money goes to help Mr Pickering....

Thank you for posting this. I will get a check to Connections right away. He sang "Happy Birthday" to me when they performed at Cinnamon Bay Campground March 19. It was a very special birthday.

yeah-- i mean go fund me can be very powerful for capturing a broad audience and it is very convenient (accepts credit cards and all that! ) and well run and everything -- but they charge 5% plus there is a 2.9% charge from we pay and then a $0.30 charge per donation.
That's why it's probably better to go via connections if you can manage it. -- particularly if you planned a larger donation.-- since , for example a donation of $500 gives go fund me 39.80......
