It's new computer time for West End Dumplings and I am hoping thiat
those who have enjoyed my work over the past nine years will chip in
to help me get one.
No donation is too big or too small.
The research I do for my blogs, walking tours, radio show and
just answering inquiries emailed to me requires a speedy, robust
computer to access image rich archival websites. My 2011 Lenovo
ThinkPad doesn't always cut it.
Contrary to what some think, I receive no grants to cover this
work and it is not in any way part of my day job. Because of their
niche nature, the blogs themselves don't generate enough clicks to be
monetized through advertising.
This is simply a labour of love done on my own time. I am
passionate about local history and want to share it.
While I am still willing to put in the time, I was hoping that
those who enjoy the work can help out with some of the capital costs.
My $2,000 ask is to cover the cost of a Lenovo T460 or HP Envy
15T laptop, both avertized at their respective manufacturer's websites
at around $1,500. The rest is for basic software, taxes and the cut of
the fundraisisng website. The computer will be purchased from a local
store to keep the money in the local economy.
If this amount is way more than I need, the leftover will be
donated to a Manitoba heritage-related project or museum.
For more information, check out my blog at westenddumplings.blogspot.ca or email me !
As an added bonus, for the few events I do charge for, such as
my Historic Hotel Pub Crawl, (part 2 is coming in 2017!), you can come
any time, as much as you want for free.
