As many of you know ASIA is working very hard to make a comeback, build their membership, and develop a host of new ideas that will benefit all of us. As many of you know OLF members Bill Moll, Jim Samuel and Brock Poling have very active roles and I am hearing great things about what they have planned. This is coming at the same time that I have been thinking about trying to gain exposure for the OLF and to grow our community. I think having more luthiers -- certainly some of the well known veterans, but also newer builders --enriches all of our experiences. Consider how much valuable information you have received from other OLF members. I believe this community of sharing is the fuel that is driving the phenomenal quality of hand built instruments today. I have committed to run 4 half page ads in Guitar maker starting next issue, promoting the OLF and inviting other luthiers to join in. I have shared this idea with a few others on the board via email and PM and they have offered to chip in -- and even suggested that I ask all of you if you would be interested in contributing. The cost is high, but I feel the benefits out weights it. Again, I see this as a positive step for the OLF community and one that could benefit all of us. If you think it is a good idea, and have a few bucks to spare I would appreciate any support you would be willing to offer. At 323 members and growing, three bucks a piece would fund the advertisement budget for the year, but I'm fully aware that not all of our members participate and not all would want to contribute. Thanks LanceK |

Lance Please count me in, How about if you made it 10 bucks, then you only have to get 1/3rd of the members to contribute, if there is a surplus I am am sure it could be well used on one of the charity initiatives OLF and Yourself have going. It would be a pleasure to give something back. |

Count me in buddy, You better start thinking about some Non-profit documentation soon Lance. Mayhaps one of our resident luthier/Lawyer/Tax adviser's can give some advice about that. Anyway, I'll send ya 10 or 20 bucks as a start. Your gonna have money comin' out your "OLF" ears before long. |

Lance, PayPal will not accept human plasma as currency. I know, I tried. So, I went to the local plasma center, gave 'em a few quarts, and walked out with a crisp $10 bill and a slice of orange. I have PayPal'd the $10 to you, but I ate the orange slice. Dennis |

I'm not a builder, but Don Williams turned me onto this site during the time he was building my guitar - and I enthusiastically read it everyday. So, in honor of, and as a "thank you" for Don's fine work, I'm sending you a donation via Paypal. ![]() (Hmmm, now I have to figure out a way to get one of those "Guitar Maker" magazines.) |

Go to http://www.guitarmarker.org and sign up as a member ($55 per year) and you will get a full subscription. It is a great organization. It is mostly geared toward Luthier's but players and collecters would learn a lot of cool stuff there. |

You've got Paypal, pal. Consider it a small tuition contribution for the large amount of knowledge I've recieved on this forum. |
