[at-l] On line trail contributions

[ellen at clinic.net (Bob C)]

http://www.matlt.org    now makes it possible to contribute by credit card on line. We are using GROUNDspring.org for the service, mostly because it was the cheapest and is itself a non profit group, supported by several of the largest foundations in the country. If anyone has knowledge of Groundspring that we should know about, let me know.

To contribute, just open http://www.matlt.org 

Unfortunately, when I do that I have to also hit one of the buttons on the left to get to the contribute on line button. I'm trying to get that fixed, but no one else seems to experience it, so it may take some time. You might check that also. Is there a contribute on line button at the bottom of the left hand column of the opening page?

I'm just completing a new packet of fund raising materials, so details are fresh in my mind. We are buying 2,342 acres for $661,000, or a very tough to negotiate price of just $282 an acre. The acreage is evenly divided between Saddleback and Abraham. We have $530,000 in hand. We would like to raise another $370,000 to cover surveying and legal costs and to build an endowment fund for the new properties. Also we need to keep our parttime clerk on board and have funds to keep going for the next major project.

But most critical at this time is the $120,000 needed to pay off our mortgage by October.

All contributions are tax deductible. Your help is truly needed.
