DONATIONS TOWARDS CONTEST ADMINISTRATION My thanks go out to the many SI friends that have donated towards contest administration to help cover a portion of the time, supplies and subscriptions that go into making this contest work. You should know that I do not intend to get rich quick off of your generosity. This contest requires somewhere between 3-10+ hours of my time per week depending on the stage of the contest. The busiest time is when one contest is ending and another is just begining. The initial setup of the new contest and verfication of the old can make for very busy times indeed. The best part about receiving donations towards adminstration costs is reading the letters of thanks that usually accompany them. I have received donations from the following areas (names will not be listed as most wish to remain annonymous): Alberta (mostly Calgary), British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec in Canada Texas, VA (is this Vermont or Virginia?), New Jersey, Oregon in USA As much as I hate to say it, Calgary, AB is the most generous and frequent supporter to date. For some reason I have yet to receive an Edmonton (my home town) donation towards contest administration (although several have promissed). Thanks Calgary. As mentioned before, average donations are between $10 and $20. US or Cdn dollars doesn't matter. As I have told several persons before, if you have enjoyed the contest(s) and feel that you have gained something (either in entertainment or educational value) then feel free to give what you can afford. Your donation in no way affects your results or prizes that you may or may not be eligible for. If you would like to donate a prize and/or cash towards a contest prize then please indicate this in your letter. For example you might want to donate $15 with $10 towards admin. costs and $5 towards first place. I will ensure that the winner receives all monies pledged to them which I receive. If you or your business would like to donate a prize directly to the winner let me know the details and we can make all of the arrangements to get you the proper recognition. Donations can be sent to/ made payable to: Eric Lyseng Box 64076 11528-107 Avenue Edmonton,AB, Canada T5H 4K7 Thanks again. Your continued support and enthusiasm for this contest is what keeps me continuing on with subsequent contests. el
