My annual appeal - give thanks for TFL

My annual appeal - give thanks for TFL

Dave beat me to the punch by a few minutes!  But I'll take it a step further.

This is the time of year that we USA based North Americans on the cusp of celebrating our Thanksgiving as we usher in the beginning of the Christmas holidays.  

I get a lot of pleasure out of my participation and reviewing of others' activity on TFL.  Probably more so than any other non-news or encyclopedic website.  And I rely on TFL for my enjoyment, diversion and personal satisfaction in learning and sharing what I've learned.  And it has enhanced my retirement hobby greatly.

I have no personal association with our host Floyd beyond a thanks to him for creating and maintaining this website and to ask him a question or provide a suggestion via a DM.  But as long as I have the floor, I'm asking those of you who wish to thank Floyd in a different way than just kind words, to think about donating to TFL.  It may just benefit all of us in the long run.

https://www.paypal.me/TheFreshLoaf is where I will make my annual donation.  Consider doing something similar if you feel like you get a real value out of TFL's existence.  If Floyd has an alternative method of contributing for you to consider, other than PayPal, I hope that he replies with that information.

I've asked Floyd more than once in the past if it was okay to post these messages, and he said yes.  So once more I'm doing an end-run and not asking first.

Thanks for the yearly reminder Alan. I bet many of us rely upon it, I know I do.

I appreciate the time, effort, and resources that Floyd has given to this site. If TFL didn’t exist where else can we go and get this type of feedback and help. Nothing I know of compares to The Fresh Loaf!

Thanks, Floyd!

While I do appreciate the support, this year there are so many others who need it more than I do. So on behalf of The Fresh Loaf community, tonight I made donations to Feeding America and my local food bank, the Greater Vancouver Food Bank. So thank you all for letting me support others who need it more than I do.

Please stay safe this Thanksgiving, everybody.
