Notes
Most important thing of note is that we are back in the red this month. This is caused by a decrease in our income and a stronger US Dollar resulting in slightly increased Canadian Dollar expense amounts.
Observing our Bunny CDN bandwidth usage – it is trending upwards, we are still within USD$10.00/month of bandwidth usage but it is likely that expense will go up to USD$15.00/month in the future if current trends continue.
Summer 2026 Fundraiser
Considering the above factors, I have started another GoFundMe fundraiser to raise funds to cover income deficits and expense increases over the coming year.
The fundraiser link is here. Please share as widely as possible and consider contributing if you are able to. Any amount helps. We are already off to a great start with the fundraiser and I am very grateful to everyone who has contributed to the fundraiser already.
Ten Forward’s registrations are also now closed and new signups will require a one-year subscription to our Tier 1 subscription.
The other donation methods are of course still available, if that is what you prefer.
Yearly Stripe subscriptions are especially welcome at this time as they help smooth over drops in monthly income.
Thank you all for your continued support.
