We didn't make our goal of 300 members by August 31st but we did reach 250 members with the results of yesterdays mail. But also came about a dozen truly heart-rending e-mails from folks who were members last year (we had 305 members by September 1 last year), and want to support CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE but who simply cannot afford a $20 SILVER membership at this time - one musician even was set to sell his musical instrument on e-bay to cover basic rent/food costs.
If you are not a member - but can afford to join right now, please go to my website and sign up - you can join in a few minutes using PayPal and you will receive your membership card quickly (possibly within 24 hours). Just click on the JOIN HERE button at the top of every page and follow the directions. You can also join with a check - please remember, all checks should be made out simply to STU HAMSTRA and mailed to 676A Ninth Avenue #120, New York, NY 10036.
For every membership received by PayPal between the time this newsletter goes out until Midnight on Sunday, September 13th, I will personally match it with a free membership to one of the dozen folks who wrote in - and I know when they are able, they will contribute the cost of a membership for someone else. The names of this receiving these "scholarship" memberships will not be revealed.
If you are already a member, and wish to contribute a membership for someone else, there are "donation" buttons on the front page of the website as well.
