- How much does it cost to view the site?
There is no cost to view the site.
- At one time, I required a membership fee to gain access to the High School section. After 18 months, this policy netted less than a third of a years expenses. Since my goal was and still is to provide a tool to promote participation in class reunions, I abandon this practice.
- The cost to maintain this site is between $3000 and $3500 a year since 2001. This pays for the 1Gig Hosting, Yearbooks, Postcards, Email Follow-ups (Ink-Paper-Envelopes-Stamps), Newsletter Notifications, and more. Over the years, this has added up to a quite bit of out-of-pocket expense.
- Donations are welcome to help offset these costs.
