[instagon] TIFORG FUNDRAISER

Hello to all of you out there on the other end of this list..

I was recently sent an unexpected bill that I need help with.. this month the hosting charges for tif.org are due and its nearly $180.00. I knew that it would be this much when it came around this year.. but was not expecting it this month and at the moment i am sorta tight financially..

so, here at tiforg we are looking to raise some funds.. and you can help, and get yourself some cool music or words.. if you have been thinking about scoring some merchandise from me.. please please do it now.. if you were not thinking about it.. then please give it some thought. Your help would be greatly appreciated and all orders will get bonus goodies...plus i am willing to make great deals and discounts if you order multiple items.

here are some places you can find Instagon Foundation items that will help us raise the funds needed to pay for our huge domain expense this year.

okay. that is plenty for you to chew on..
you may get this message a couple of times, as i am going to be spamming it out to all of my lists.. so if that happens.. please forgive us for the redundancy.. but we are really trying to raise funds for this domain issue.

thank you for your time and your continued support and interest in the art of Lob, Thee Instagon Foundation, and garage jazz music in general.

happy holidays.
