Contributing Member Award Icon

<p>Pilots:

I've added a new Service Award icon for pilots who contribute to St. Paul Airline's Paypal account. This award will be given annually (throughout the year) to pilots who contribute to our Paypal account (regardless of the amount). The "Contributing Member" icon will show under your name in the Pilot Awards page for each year you make a contribution. NOTAM: This is not meant to imply that we're in dire need of funding (a small group of faithful contributors have kept us afloat here for many happy years - and continue to do so). I just felt that it was time to recognize those pilots who have contributed to keeping the lights on here at SPA. The icon is standardized for all pilots and doesn't show the amount contributed - only that a financial contribution was made:

We're very happy here at SPA just to have all of you flying with us and keeping our VA active and fun. For those who want to show their appreciation for what we do here by helping maintain our website, as has always been the case, feel free to click on the Paypal link on the right-side menu and contribute if and when you are so inclined. Now, upon receiving a notice of contribution, in addition to the usual personal "Thank you" email, we will add the "Contributing Member" icon to your awards page for the year of contribution.</p>
<p>All contributions are directed to the necessary payments to our Internet provider. The management team is entirely voluntary and no funds go directly to the managing members.

I've made this retroactive for 2018 as well.

Thanks to all for your continued support through participation, financial contribution, volunteering as a member of the management team or any combination of the aforementioned.

No worries Bill,

If you wish to contribute again at some point in the future, you'll find the "Donate -Paypal" link on the right-hand menu that's visible when you are on our main webpage. Scroll down to the very bottom of the of that right-hand menu.

This right-side menu disappears on most other pages other than the main home-page of the website - just as it isn't visible when you're here on the "Forum" page.
