View Full Version : March is Donation Month

As some of you probably know, March is a month set aside to allow any VBA members the opportunity to donate to the VBA.

Membership into the VBA is free, but there are various costs to operating a 2,600+ member motorcycle club.

100% of the money made through donations goes directly back to VBA. No VBA staff members are taking home a pay check what so ever. Also, please keep in mind that the VBA forum is handled by a third party. Any income from advertisements on the forum, or an upgraded forum membership goes directly to the third party not to VBA.

All the VBA's operating costs are paid for with donations and donations only. They are an essential part of the VBA's success.

Feel free to go to: http://www.vulcanbagger.org/#!how-to-help/c10gz and use Paypal to make your donation. If you are not a Paypal member, no worries... feel free to utilize your credit card through Paypal. It's simple and easy.

If you don't want to use Paypal and would like to send a donation by snail mail, feel free to send me a PM and I'll give you additional information.

Please keep in mind that you are under no obligation to make a donation to keep your membership at the VBA. Donations are always voluntary and any amount donated is greatly appreciated.

With the growth the VBA has experienced in the last few years to maintain a website, provide a repository for online information and provide for the operational needs of the club is getting more and more costly.

If you own a Vulcan and have found the whole realm of the VBA useful, why not make a small donation? Maybe the VBA has saved you a little cash on an install or accessory, or provided you with the expertise to fix that problem that the dealer would have charged you a bundle for.

Donating to the VBA is painless and helps us keep providing an organization and presence on the web specifically designed for the Nomad/Vaquero/Voyager owner and rider. Membership into the VBA is free and we would like to keep it that way, so donations to the VBA are very important.

Thank you very much!

Although I did post here that I donated,.....I think the Admin and Jared would agree that it isn't necessary to post the news. And I would think that there are more people donating than who post here. ...just say'in.

So March is donation month? Man, I'm sure glad I found this thread burid here before April 1st...I would have had to wait a whole 'nother year to donate!
You need to spread this thread around the other forums so its more noticable :yep:

Jared, thanks for creating this thread and explaining VBA financial setup (at a high level). I wouldn't have known otherwise, and I figure I'm not the only one. I'm glad to donate to VBA. This site has taught me everything i know about working on the Nomad. It gave me a platform to sell accessories for Nomads, and I've made a ton of friends through it. I've referred a lot of riders. If my small donation can help to keep it going, I'm more than happy to do it.:tup:

Nope, still driving a 2003 Ford Focus. I paid cash for it and it's still running strong. :tup:

Just saw the recent posts re: donations. Kind of forgot about it from earlier in the month. Gladly contributing-better late than never. Regularly monitor but rarely have posted. Appreciate the good humored banter and more importantly the wealth of info I have learned reference the Voyager.

Please keep up the good work. Really helps pass the winter months up here in the north country (MN).

Thanks to you Jared and all of the associate partners for your efforts.
