    When we moved to Xenfora some of the signature options didn't come over. In the old software signatures were limited by a character limit, on Xenfora there are more options and there is a character number and number of lines limit. I've set maximum number of lines to 4 and unlimited characters.

I don't know if this is allowed, or some breach of protocol, but I thought I'd post this anyway, and if the mods get upset, I'll take the slings and arrows as they come.

In 2012, the New Hampshire legislature stopped funding the official memorial for Christa McAuliffe (America's Teacher in Space, lost in the 1986 CHallenger disaster) and Alan Shepard (Fisrt American in space), both New Hampshire Natives. Since 2013, the McAuliffe-SHepard Discovery Center (MSDC) has had to operate as a non profit organization, relying on grants, fundraising, and donations.

The McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center’s mission is to inspire every generation to reach for the stars, through engaging, artful and entertaining activities that explore astronomy, aviation, earth and space science.

Please help me support this wonderful educational foundation by contributing to this GoFundMe campaign. All your names will be passed to the MSDC in grateful recognition of your support. You can also visit their web page at http://www.starhop.com to learn more about their mission, their offerings, or just check out all that they do. This fundraising goal is set for the next month.

The Discovery Center has an amazing collection of innovative, interactive exhibits to explore. Delve into the worlds of astronomy, aviation, Earth and space sciences and become immersed in this entertaining learning environment.

There are programs at the Discovery Center for all ages! From our planetarium theater to our high-tech observatory to workshops for Little Explorers and educators alike… there is something for everyone at your Discovery Center.
 
The MSDC is a nonprofit with IRS 501(c)(3); all donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. As if you needed an excuse to donate to this organization.

So 100+ people have looked here, and not a one donation. :( Even $20 would help.
 
Today is #GivingTuesday apparently. Not sure what that hashtag is all about, but it's as good an excuse as any. Again, it supports STEM and is tax deductible. What other reasons do you need?
 
Quick update, a generous donor has agreed to match all donations. Have twice the impact with your donation!
 
Damn my ethics! Besides, once I donate the amount I borrowed, how am I supposed to get it back?
