ADMIN: STMFC Groups.io Fees
Aley, Jeff A
Hi Folks,
On June 3, 2022, I paid the $220.00 annual renewal to Groups.io for RealSTMFC. Our group is a “Premium” group (as defined by Groups.io), which means that we have plenty of storage, so our emails and attachments don’t get lost / deleted.
I paid last year’s fees ($220.00) out of pocket, and if I remember correctly, the fees for 2020 were paid by a member who wishes to remain anonymous.
There are ways for me to solicit money from the membership using a Groups.io feature, but that requires me to give Groups.io a bunch of my bank account information – no thanks. I do, however, have a PayPal account. So, if anyone wishes to donate a few bucks, he can send it to me on PayPal using my email address, which is jaley at comcast dot net.
Thanks, and back to Freight Cars!

I'll send a contribution as soon as my cash deposit to Paypal clears.

Jeff, Paypal has a donation method that provides a url for setting up donations. These are operated by Paypal as an annual donation – they’ll donate once every 12 months. People who sign up to make a donation can cancel their subscription at any time. This allows people who want to let the donaction run for an extended time to do so… and those who wish to make a one time donation to do that.
With the number of members here and the price you need to cover I’ll guess a $5 would cover a substantial portion your expenses, perhaps all.

Thanks, Folks, for your generosity!
Because of you, I have received (as of this writing) $625.00. Since the fees are $220 per year, this easily covers 2022, 2023, and enough of 2024 that I’m not going to worry about it. That means that I will not be bugging you for additional donations until sometime in 2025!
Groups.io has my credit card # on file, and will automatically charge it each year. So you don’t need to worry about the money going astray.
Thanks again, I am grateful for your donations!
Regards,
