The fund drive is almost over! You have until Sunday night to give out any remaining hearts

This discussion thread was locked by EarlG (a host of the Announcements group).

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! And a huge THANK YOU to all DUers who participated in this week's fund drive. This has been a successful event thanks to your generosity, and you've shown that after 25 years online, this community still going strong.

The fund drive ends this Sunday night (Feb 15), so you have one more day to give and receive hearts before we get back to normal on Monday morning. If you want to get any more to give out, or if you want to just make another contribution before the end of the fund drive, you can still do so via either:

While I'm thanking everyone, I also want to give a shout-out to the folks who pay by mail. It is always a pleasure to read the notes and cards that you include with your contributions.

So that's it -- it's almost all over for another year. Please don't forget to use your hearts by the end of the day Sunday, or you will lose them.

Thank you again! It's a privilege to be able to continue to run this great community.
