Full History of Donations for 2009

Changes for 2009. In all financial history pages prior to 2009, I listed each individual donation involving **promotional materials (photos, T-shirts, etc.), in the spirit of full disclosure. In this age of identity theft and internet scams however, it has become ill advised to post people's names on public pages, and most of you would rather have your donations anonymous anyway. So as of 2009, all such gifts are simply summarized as totals, except in cases where a business (whose theme is relevant to the website), has provided a donation and was specifically was offered (or requested) a link. other donations not involving any request for promotional items, are now listed separately as "miscellaneous", purely for bookkeeping purposes. Also in the spirit of anonymity and starting in 2009 all personal donations I add, whether the result of guest appearance or performance payments, or simply out of pocket gifts, are now simply included in the "miscellaneous" total. My contributions from CD sales, however, are listed separately.

Further Explanation of calculations:* Direct to Charity entries include an initial and unconditional 20% of each promotional* donation received. The rest, minus any transaction fees (such as PAYPAL deductions) is applied to total annual website expenses, which are listed separately in a subsequent table. Once site expenses are met, any residual funds are then added to the charity total. If gift totals do not fully cover website expenses, the 20% committment remains unaffected, and the difference (or loss) becomes my sole responsibility. I've also personally committed to contributing a minimum of 20% of all CD sales minimum, and typically 100% of CD sales from Nov. 15th on till the end of the drive.

Note that in order to assure a timely gift to charity before Christmas, the cutoff date for donations applied to the current year is normally set to a date of my own choosing in Mid December. Any donations received after that point are applied to the following year.
