ROC The Day: A Huge Success!
Thanks to the generosity of our dedicated falcon supporters , we raised over $2,200 yesterday, including $1,000 in bonuses for outstanding teamwork by donors who stayed up late to make their pledges at just the right time. Well done, folks!
ROC the Day officials will send us a list of donors sometime in the next few weeks and a full financial statement in February, at which point we will know who to thank individually. Until then, thank you to everyone who donated. Your contributions will be used to fund Rfalconcam operations and improvements throughout 2017.

How far does this go to fund the services we have come to count upon? Does it cover the costs for the many cameras, including repairs and replacements? Does it cover the costs of the data stream? Does it cover hosting?
I know it could never pay for the services of the volunteers who make all of this work. For example, if Shaky got going rates for his practically 24/7 care of the infrastructure of the website, the money raised would be gone before 2016 came to an end.

The money covers the cost of equipment maintenance and hosting services. Internet access is donated by our friends at Netsville and video streaming is free. We also have a cache of spare equipment to offset the cost of replacement.

Thank-you. That is comforting to know,
