I've seen a lot of message traffic today from people who are dying to find out what is happening with the Bonaire WebCams, if anything

OK, I'm going to do an early WOOHOOOO!!! That is fantastic news Jake!!! I can't wait until tomorrow, when all is revealed

It would be cool to wear my Official WebCam Sponsor T-Shirt with my National Public Radio Car Talk hat (hat has the Car Talk's law firm printed on the back..."Duey, Cheatum and Howe". For anyone with a ranking above "experienced user" it should probably read Addicted Sponsor

By Cynde (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #11281) on Monday, June 7, 2004 - 7:14 pm: |
OK Wally, "Addicted Sponsor" is a pretty funny...and TRUE!!!

Wonderful News!!! I agree with Cynde, wherever you think the $ needs to go is fine by me.

Jake, My fingers are crossed hoping the meeting goes well.

GREAT NEWS Jake!!! Where do we send the checks???
|
By Jake Richter (Moderator - Post #4917) on Monday, June 7, 2004 - 8:55 pm: |
PayPal will certainly be an option, as will checks, and credit card payments. As Dan handles finances for CWC, he will have to indicate whether credit card payments or PayPal is more preferable.

Awesome news!!!! I am so glad that all our e-mails could make a difference in saving the cams!!! Wooo Hoooooooo!!!!!

By Marcus L. Barnes (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #107) on Monday, June 7, 2004 - 9:18 pm: |
Sounds like a plan. Standing by to send $100. The T-shirt would be cool!
|
By Barbara Leary (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5805) on Monday, June 7, 2004 - 9:20 pm: |
Sounds wonderful Jake...I'm looking forward to visiting them live SOON July 26 for real! Let us know what you need...I'm with Wally, would proudly wear the shirt...but would recommend using the money for the cams...they are much more necessary for us addicts!

This is fabulous news, Jake, Dan and Linda! Sent an email to you a moment ago, too. We will be there shortly and will pay up on our pledge while we are on Bonaire....gladly and with thanks to you guys and everyone else who jumped right in there to Save the Cams! Can't wait until the ink is on the paper and the identity of the new home of the Web Cams is known! Thanks again Jake, Dan, Linda and everyone here on this board!! Give yourselves a great big pat on the back!!

By Greta Badstebner (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #361) on Tuesday, June 8, 2004 - 12:32 am: |
Jake~ That's the news we've all been waiting to hear! YEAH!!
|
By Diana van den Wollenberg (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #2131) on Tuesday, June 8, 2004 - 4:51 am: |
Great news! And as soon as you know where to send some money, I'm in. Maybe not for $100, but a bit less. I need some money to go to Bonaire in september as well! Hopefully I can get in front of the cams in the new location!
|
By Scott Phillips (New BonaireTalk Poster - Post #3) on Tuesday, June 8, 2004 - 7:11 am: |
Hope all goes well this week. I think that making it known that ANY kind of Bonaire Webcam T-shirt is available ("sponsor" or not) for sale would bring out a bunch of folks (and hence dollars) that would help fund this very worthy endeavour. I'll bet that offering shirts (perhaps caps, too, or bumper stickers) for sale and mentioning (advertising?)this on BT and on the webcam site would be a substantial fundraising activity. Are there currently "non-sponsor" shirts available?

By LaDonna Pride (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1824) on Tuesday, June 8, 2004 - 7:17 am: |
Jake....I second, third, fourth ......etc....the statements above! Use the money to upgrade the connections, and a T-shirt would be cool! Let me know when and where to send the donation!
|
By Elvira M. Bolanos (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #287) on Tuesday, June 8, 2004 - 7:56 am: |
Jake, thanks for the good news. I agreed with everyone else. Waiting to write a check.
|
By Martine TLOUZEAU - Jean Paul GODARD (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5036) on Tuesday, June 8, 2004 - 8:29 am: |
What a marvelous new, Jake ! Like Diana I will send my contribution too as soon as you tell us where to send the money. Sorry I can't offer 100$ for the moment, but surely 50 $ ( I had to waste a lot of money with my kidney problem... )
|
By Kelly Jo Lott (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1220) on Tuesday, June 8, 2004 - 8:52 am: |
Looking forward to great news today, Jake. Been sending lots of positive vibes to Bonaire..

Hello everyone,

By Renea (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #112) on Tuesday, June 8, 2004 - 11:55 am: |
Great News Jake!! And, I agree with Cynde, use it wherever you and Dan see the need. Just let us know when/how to send the money and I'm still in for $100.
|
By Cynde (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #11283) on Tuesday, June 8, 2004 - 12:11 pm: |
Kevin, welcome back (Kotter style) Of course we remember you and Claire!!!! Glad to see you pop in, and help out to boot!!!
|
By Roderick Pervier (BonaireTalker - Post #52) on Tuesday, June 8, 2004 - 12:36 pm: |
Super News Jake, I agree that you should use the pledge money as need be. Good & redundant connection sounds like an important part of the system.
|
By Brian (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #605) on Tuesday, June 8, 2004 - 12:36 pm: |
great news. Paypal is good for me to send my pledge.
|
By Denise Kacavas (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #728) on Tuesday, June 8, 2004 - 12:50 pm: |
I agree regarding your suggestion as how to use the pledged $, and would appreciate a sponsor t-shirt :-) I don't know if I can do this anually but will for sure the first year and will try to later too. And if you do go with t-shirts, don't waste any of the pledge $ mailing it to me - I can pick it up in Oct at a Gibi's dinner if that's OK with you.

Hi Cynde,

By Barry Baker (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #499) on Tuesday, June 8, 2004 - 3:12 pm: |
As one who has been away from the web cams since last November, (WOW, that long) I was absolutley stunned when I read the news about the possible loss of the web cams. My mind started racing with what would life now be like when I can't at my leisure just type in a few letters and get a long overdue dose of paradise. As I continued to read the responses to Jakes and Dan's predicament, (and ours)I kept looking at the date hoping that it would read April 1, 2004 and not what I was seeing.
|
By Kelly Jo Lott (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1225) on Tuesday, June 8, 2004 - 3:27 pm: |
Hi Barry nice to have you back.
|
By Barry Baker (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #500) on Tuesday, June 8, 2004 - 3:32 pm: |
We won't be able to make it to Bonaire this year. Not enough $$$. So we decided to make a quick trip to Cancun so I can take my daughter diving in August.
