Perpetual Learner- The adventure of going back to school

Trying to contact the MFA-IA student body. Whoops.

I was not sure how to contact all of the MFA-IA students. So after fumbling around a bit I discovered that I could send an e mail to the students through the Goddard site. Problem is, before I discovered it, I had sent an e mail to "all" students. Whoops!

To my delight and surprise I had others from other groups especially the MA contacting me to see if they too could be part of the database. I am not sure how others feel about that. Please let me know if you have any opinions.

However, the process did bring me to a decision on what URL to get for the website. I had originally thought about something like Goddard-MFA-IA.com But thing I might try Goddard-network.com

The trick will be in the search perimeters of the listings site. Something that is a bit difficult to know until I get my hands into the program.

We are almost there!

As a recap-
I have been trying to raise the money for the database site for the MFA-IA. I wanted to update everyone on what money we have received and what is still needed.

WHAT IS NEEDED NOW?
Start up funds.
The cost for putting up the site is minimal.
  • Woo theme 200 ( I have contacted them and they will give us a discount of 20-30% That is a $40-$60 discount on the cost of the theme.) Woo theme will cost $140-$160
  • Cost for securing a URL- web address is about $10.00
  • There is no cost, at this time, for hosting the site. Bridgette Mongeon will contribute hosting for the first 6 months.
NEW BALANCE
Our total start is $150- $170 we have $114.00 (see below)
Balance needed 36-56.00

Several people have been contributing money through pay pal. Send it to Bridgette( the at sign) creativesculpture.com. Once I receive it I will post it on this blog post.

OUR CONTRIBUTORS
Angus-$25.
Kriota -$20
Marilyn-$19.12 ( pay pal took .88 out. Not sure why?)
Lisa S.-$20.00
Laura P $10.00
Rod C $20.00

I have had one other who has said they would send $35.00 bringing our total up to $149.00. Though I hate to count chickens before they hatch. Anyone else want to contribute? Just a little bit more is needed.
