Another one snuck in under the wire.  We have 34 members who have committed to monthly donations. 

Does anyone want to take the credit for this selfless act?

34 members! WhoHoo!  With the current # of Nebraska CHP holders around 35,000 that means that we have 1 monthly donor for every 1,000 people legally carrying concealed in our great state!

Now that I am the treasurer for the NFOA.....instead of continuing to donate online like I have been, I am going to mail a check from my house to the PO box just so I can get excited!   :P

TJ,

Did you set up a monthly donation? If so, how much?

Yea, $10 a month. Only reason I said anything was hoping the thread would get bumped to the top. maybe others would donate also. Frankly I never really thought about it until I found this thread. It showed the resources that the NFOA would have if everyone donated a dollar a month. That would be pretty amazing.

TJ thanks for stepping up, I have not donated for a while and will see if it is in my budget.

Thanks for joining the cause helping us (the FEW of us) support a great organization...could I ask you to do one more thing? Could you vote in the poll so that it correctly depicts how many people are making a monthly donation?



We have 35 members who have committed to monthly donations.  That's a whopping $4,104 per year for the NFOA to fight our battles for us.

Anyone else want to help the NFOA secure OUR rights?

Thanks,
Fly

Ok...I just noticed something on the poll. Someone selected $100 per month? Is that correct?

If so, could whoever did that confirm it here? If they don't want to be known, could they send me a PM to confirm it? I will keep their (forum) identity secret.

Thanks,
Fly

I made a single donation of $50 a few days ago because I always like doing that better than committing to monthly.  I'll be doing it again when I can.  I know budgeting is easier if you have monthly commitments, but for some of us giving here and there instead of monthly works better.  Only a relatively few giving monthly doesn't look good.  But how many give larger amounts one or a few times?  Just curious.

@depserv  Thank you for doing what you can.  I would be tickled pink if there were a ton of posts like yours stating that they give money to the cause on a semi–regular basis. I do not mean to demean anyone for not doing a regular monthly donation. Everyone runs their finances differently, but for many people, if they don't set up a regular payment, it gets put on the back burner. If you are organized enough to make sure it happens, not every month, but on a reasonably regular basis, good for you. Though the great thing about monthly donations is that I can tally them into a nice little table and post the results for everyone to see our progress.

For the rest of you, as I already stated in an earlier post, a $5/month donation is not going to be noticed by most of us. JUST once a month...$5...the price of a Venti mocha non-fat no foam extra hot latte at Starbucks, a pack of cigarettes, or a couple of your favorite draft beers.

JUST...FIVE...DOLLARS

Maybe you should switch to expensive scotch and up your donation.   :laugh:

Hey all! Sorry I've been away for so long. My auto debit stopped working so I'll be looking at starting it again soon. Things have been quite busy for me and I've finally started to get my head above water here lately!

We had some issues with Pyrix and monthly recurring donation ceased to be processed for a couple months.

Gotcha! More to that, my expiration date changed on my old card and that recurring donation should be stopped, if it hasn't already since it should have been denied.
