This evening when I got home from work I logged on the UBC Botanical Garden Maple Forum as I usually do every morning and evening. Tonight I remembered back to a little over three years ago when I discovered this site and thought WOW what a great maple resource this is. This site in my opinion is one of the best resources for maple discussion, information and photographs. This site is how I found the Maple Society and countless new friends to exchange information and plants with. I then recalled back to my first visit saying to myself that I should make a donation to support this organization but I was enjoying the site too much and never did make a donation. Many other sites bombard you with pop up ads, surveys and offers. Here you get information and that’s it. So tonight I remembered to locate the tab on the right side of the screen for Support Our Mission and follow the simple instructions. It’s a simple way to say Thank you UBC Botanical Garden for providing this site to the gardening community.
Slightly off topic but i'll ask. I joined the maple society last fall, and received two wonderful newsletters. I received no renewal request for 2009. Does anybody know how the renewal process works?
Ed, Great topic. I too will donate. I rarely logon here, but I hold this site in the highest regard. I've met many devoted maple fans and overall good people here. The UBC should be rewarded for a great site, and no pop ups/banner ads/etc. Brian
