Supporting C.A.R.L.A.
Thank you for supporting C.A.R.L.A.
C.A.R.L.A. exists for the benefit of its users but we wouldn't be where we are today without the support of our users. Read on to learn a little about how you can help us out.

Support Information
Any individual who wishes to support C.A.R.L.A. in its ongoing operations, maintenance and improvements is welcome to do so and sincerely appreciated. Since the inception of C.A.R.L.A. in the early 80's, we have benefited from generous contributions on the part of individual trustees, directors and members of the general user population. You may elect to donate funds, equipment, site space and any other resources as you see fit.

Although C.A.R.L.A. does not charge any membership dues, if you feel so inclined we would certainly appreciate anything you would be willing to donate to support the system. Try to imagine what it takes to put a machine on the air, with various enhancements and support systems, and what it takes to maintain it, and then multiply that by numerous systems. It quickly becomes apparent that most donations only covers a very small percentage of the entire cost involved. Some users have made generous donations of equipment, site space, and access to various other resources, etc. in addition to the regular donation amounts, simply because they believe in what C.A.R.L.A. is trying to do and want to see it carry on. Regardless of what you choose to contribute, we appreciate any support you are willing to offer.
