[TechAssist] afterthought...An open letter from Sandie Keller

An after thought:
here's the thing.
This doesn't have to be a hardship on anyone.
I understand there is about 400+ members in Techassist. Not sure if
that's the web site plus the email, one or the other. but: ten dollars
times 400 members? That's $4000. Even I can afford that and I haven't
accepted a pay recently.(That's what owners do: everyone and everything
else gets paid before you do).
I will see about a post to our Techassist web site to get more coverage.
I know "yesterday's news" fades quickly, but these Kellers wake up every
morning facing this anew.I sent more this week. But as I say with almost
100% participation, just a tid-bit from all would move mountains.
(Now where did I put that soapbox...)
;-)
I just feel deeply about this.We send money overseas, and that is
good,but this is "over the back fence" to a neighbor.
Have a good day, stay well.
