While running a website isn't terribly expensive, unfortunately it isn't free, either. There are costs to register domain names and secure server space. We here at The StraightLineModeler would prefer to keep our pages free of ads. There are a couple of ways that you can help us do that. Either involves contacting Dwayne Bressem (cruzn1320@yahoo.com). Then you can:

1) Ask to make a contribution to the SLM website fund. Please use the word Donation in your subject heading. Or...

2) You can get the nifty, cast-metal Christmas tree kit pictured below for $13 (1st Class postage included to U.S. addresses; slightly higher outside the borders--Dwayne'll let you know) and contribute $2 to the fund that way. In that case, put the words SLM Christmas Tree in the subject heading.

Dwayne's a good guy, and in either case, he'll get things taken care of for you and for us! Thank you!

Here's what you'll get:

A 25 piece white-metal Christmas Tree kit--cast by R&D Unique, exclusively for Dwayne--A set of Alps-printed decals to replicate the Chrondek Timers markings, and a set of instructions to help you assemble the thing! Cool, huh? You can purchase the tree or simply make a donation either via PayPal or with a money order by emailing Dwayne at:

cruzn1320@yahoo.com

Again, thank you for your support of The StraightLineModeler!
