Along with the Chat and BTDT features that have so recently and publicly been added to this site, there is another new feature that has been added very quietly and privately. I found it earlier today and want to share it with all of you.
If you go to the "About" menu and click it, you will see in the drop-down column, the word "Donation." If you choose it, it takes you to a page telling you how to donate towards the hosting and upkeep of SMNetwork.org.
Now Kay has
never asked any of us for money. This is not a pay-for-membership site, and mostly anyone who wants to register and participate for free, is welcome to do so. I have, and many of you have, participated, shared information, and met colleagues here for years. So, today I clicked the "Donate" button and made a small donation, as thanks for Kay's many years of devotion, both to Stage Managers and to the care and feeding of this site.
So, just be aware that page exists on this site, and if you ever feel grateful for the information you've gleaned, or the friends and colleagues you've stayed in touch with through the site, or have some small change needing a good home, I urge you to click this button as well. If not now, several months from now, if not then, maybe next year or the year after--whenever you feel you've used the site enough to want to give a little back.
Just so you know you can!
Ruth
EDIT: It's more of an Easter egg than a feature. Thank you for finding and mentioning this, Ruth. Also, shucks and golly! --PSMK
