I'll contributed $20.00 to the cause. I'm sure there are enough others to create a one or two year band-aid.

They have made some changes in what they do with the server and will no longer be able to host our site. If we move then this mailing list will be hosted elsewhere or will cease to exist. We owe CILUG a lot of thanks for their help in the past.

Victoria is in court most of this week but then she and I will be able to work at finding a solution to the future of the mailing list and the web site. If you would like to help us with the decision making mail one of us. We have a list of web hosting services which are inexpensive but we would need contributions if we go that way. Face Book is a possibility also.
