Is there anything set up to send donations to ChefSuccess? I would like to donate some money, this site has really helped me to kick off my business and I don't know where I would be without it. I know that hosting a website etc can get pretty expensive.

Anyone else interested in donating some money?
 
wow, very thankful and honored by your request. I never disappoint, so I'll have a donation button up soon. :)

Thanks a lot Greg, hopefully others will help out in the effort! If something helps me I don't mind helping a little to keep it here!
 
Donations can be taken here:
http://www.chefsuccess.com/subscriptions.php

You don't need a paypal account to join a subscription plan. When at the paypal website in the middle of the page you'll find the text "If you do not currently have a PayPal account" click the button to the right of it and you can enter your CC information.

I guess it would be appropriate to say it costs over $380/m to run the server chefsuccess is on and for advertising.

Also if you wish to donate more than the subscriptions allow then please PM me and I can give you another option.
 
I took a couple of months off for the Holidays, but as soon as I am back on track with some shows, I will subscribe. I greatly appreciate this site and want to help support it. I hope everyone else does too.
 
Thank you to thepamperinglady, our first gold member!
 
Someone said they would "subscribe". Is this a subscription or just donations? It needs to be set straight as I like this forum VERY MUCH, but do not have paypal nor a credit card, so probably will not get to donate for a while until things are more settled in my unsettled world.

You can think of it as a donation in the form of a subscription. One of the best ways to "donate" is by using and posting on the site. Also by telling and referring other people to chefsuccess.
 
Money well spentThis is site is so very helpful. It is only right to help you out.
 
Tax Deduction?If I'm not mistaken, it would probably be a tax deduction, too, as it is an avenue to increasing your business, but even if it's not, it's well worth it!

Thanks for all your hard work, Greg and Deb, and thanks, also, to all the consultants who have answered questions, posted flyers, etc. - my business has seen a dramatic improvement since I joined the Chefsuccess community.

Best wishes to all of you in 2006!
