ExplorOz Newsletter - Issue 55

4th March, 2004. In this issue: New Article - Buying a Caravan, The ExplorOz Team in Variety Club 4WD Event, NEW feature for Members, Tell a Friend, Site Usage for Feb and Ranking by Category.

The ExplorOz Team is participating in the Variety Club 4WD Event
30th July - 7th August

This year's event will start in Newman and wind it's way through the beautiful and remote Rudall River region before traversing the Pilbara and finishing at Coral Bay on the Ningaloo Reef.

The event is all about raising funds to support the Variety Club's charitable aim - assisting sick and disadvantaged children.

Because the Variety Club focus on fun events such as the Bash and the 4WD Event for fundraising, we see this as a great way to use the ExplorOz website to do good things for the community in which we all live.

We need to raise a minimum $3500 donation to the Variety Club in order to participate.

If we can't raise the funds, we can't go. Please donate and help us help the kids.

Announcing a very special NEW feature for Members Only...

Yes - there's more new stuff for our valued members. We are now adding a new feature to membership whereby instead of posting the more personal information you might not like to share in the very public forum, you can now use Member to Member messaging.

Not yet a member?
Now's the time to join.
Click here.

Still just $50 for the first year, then only $30 for renewals each year thereafter.

Membership Fees are critical to the future of the ExplorOz website. We still desperately need your support - as the site and number of users grow, it costs more to run. If you use it, please dig deep to help keep it afloat. Just $1 per week will do it...
