Do you live too far away to make the event? Is your social calendar already full? You can STILL help keep SPT afloat. As a board member , part of my job is to help bring in the bacon or the tofurkey. This means I need to raise some money. So I'm writing to ask you to buy a ticket or to make a contribution in any amount. Can you help? It is easy. Just visit PAYPAL at www.paypal.com and make a secure and easy contribution. First, you'll need to take one minute to set up a securePayPal account if you don't already have one. Then, log into your paypal account and select the "send money" tab and put smallpresstraffic@gmail.com in the "TO" recipient field and make a contribution in any amount. To indicate that you are contributing based on this email, you can include "RTM" in the note field.

 

No contribution is too small. Really!
