Announcing the TarValon.Net 2013 Annual Summer Fundraiser

[Ilissa al'Nari]

For me Paypal told me how much my donation (which I made in Euros) would be in dollars. Just fiddle around, I guess?

 

[Aduiavas Ida]

I will probably make a donation when I get rich...

That will be later in August, when my annual "big check" student loan comes in

 

[Ealandrelle Melyma]

The question then is how I and others who are going to donate in Euro can figure out what rate PayPal uses. I'm naturally converting from NOK to Euro, not from USD.

Paypal informs you of the exchange rate when you select to pay in Euros. For me, it matched the rate which www.xe.com showed for the same day (for GBP > EUR)

 

[Ubahsur Kindellaer]

I'm totally stepping on Tree's toes with this, but so far we have raised a total (face value) of $616! Chocolate is winning at 4:1!

 

[Kassina Tendar]

Well, if you look at the banner at the top, it seems like chocolate's already taken over TarValon while bacon slinks away in defeat.

I'm going to have to wait to make a donation until the very tail end of the fundraiser. I get paid next on August 21st and it usually takes a couple days (due to wonky time zones) for my transfer to arrive at my American bank account. (which is what I use for online payments)

 

[Vendri al'Varrak]

Could be wrong but I think the bacon is actually facing the chocolate ready to storm the gates.

 

[Kassina Tendar]

Ahhhh, ok. I can see that! I guess I was just looking at it wrong.

 

[Tree]

Ubah.... my toes hurt!

:P

This is fantastic- lets keep 'em coming!!! There may be some surprises left in this Fundraiser....

 

[Belgareth Kiarc]

Bacon suffering such a deficit is a travesty so I have launched my support behind the FBI.

 

[Ubahsur Kindellaer]

:joy

 

[Tree]

Thank you Belgareth and all our donors! I have brought you all a small token of our appreciation for you to sport in your signatures!

As of our total this morning, we've raised $616!!! This is great everyone, but you'll see we have a long way to go so lets keep 'em coming!

​

And in case you needed another reason to donate, check out this offer to match your donations dollar for dollar!

 

[Niere al'Aman]

Aww....if I had known there would be a match, I would have waited to donate. :-\

 

[Belgareth Kiarc]

Did my donation make the match Tree?!

 

[Loraella Melodie]

Sent some euros in favour of the almighty chocolate.

 

[Taika Vinh]

I'll also have to wait until mid-August before donating, but for once I'm glad for the delay! This match will go on until the deadline, yes?

 

[Alora Sionn]

Donated for me, I will donate for Lok once our rent is paid

 

[Ubahsur Kindellaer]

We are happy to have donations any time! (Even after the fundraiser if things are right for you during it! Trust me, you aren't alone there!)

Bel, I've got great news for you, Tree is counting yours (and all donations sent at any point on Tuesday) towards the match! :joy

 

[Belgareth Kiarc]

Boom! Good times. Thanks Ubah.

 

[Vendri al'Varrak]

Aww, wish mine counted towards the match

 

[Syera Faelron]

I will donate when I can afford it :curtsey
