As you are all aware a strong earthquake has struck Turkey and Syria with a rising total of over 35,000 killed and many thousands injured or homeless. When a humanitarian crisis of this magnitude strikes the Lions are ready to help. The Lions Club International Foundation (LCIF) is mobilizing funds, including a US$200,000 Major Catastrophe grant to empower Lions in Turkey and Syria to help their communities recover. The Bantry Bay Lions will be organizing a bucket collection as soon as a permit can be secured. All funds raised will be sent to the LCIF.

Just thought I would blog about our hosts, Webfaction, and give them the praise they deserve. I have this site and a couple of others hosted by Webfaction.
I always find the support to be quick, accurate, and comprehensive. They are willing to give advice even when it is quite technical.
They have been able to alert me to possible problems, particularly on the security aspect, and enable me to take action, and have been especially useful in helping me prevent future problems.
If I could sing a song about how Great they are, I would. Thanks you webfaction.
