| 15:34 - Tuesday, October 7, 2008 | Our Wonderful Sponsors!During
the Spring of 2004 the Bonaire WebCams found themselves in the need of a new
home on Bonaire because the lease on the property they were located was expiring
and could not be renewed. Several months of trying to find a partner will to
help provide the financial support the WebCams needed to continue operation,
as well as a location on Bonaire on the water's edge, proved fruitless. The
final call for help went out publicly on BonaireTalk. The result was that Bonaire
WebCams fans around the world rallied together, both lobbying their favorite
resorts on Bonaire and offering financial support of their own. At the same
time, a group of forward thinking Bonaire businesses got together to pool their
resources to help save the Bonaire WebCams. And everything came together just
a couple of weeks before the WebCams were scheduled to go permanently dark.
Without
further ado, the Bonaire WebCams would not exist today if it were not for the generous
support and sponsorship of the following companies, organizations, and individuals.
Our thanks to all of you!
| Advertising
Support Sponsor
These folks saved the WebCams by providing capital infusion at a time
when it was most needed: |
| Advertising
Consultants (Judi Barnes & Brian Schoepflin)
|
Bonaire
WebCams Location Sponsors
Without these sponsors the Bonaire WebCams would not have a home on
Bonaire. By helping cover the operating costs of the Bonaire WebCams
through at least the summer of 2012, as well as providing excellent
support in terms of space, security, and maintenance, these businesses
have earned our undying gratitude and we hope the patronage of Bonaire
WebCams fans looking for accommodations, dining, drinking, diving,
a beach, and a great atmosphere. When you visit these businesses, make
sure to tell them that you're there because of their support and sponsorship
of the Bonaire WebCams! |

Individual
Sponsors
These folks stepped to bat on their own when the WebCams seemed headed
for certain demise. Their annual contribution and commitment covers the
on-going improvements and refinements we make in our camera equipment
and connectivity.
Note that
donations for sponsorship are not the same thing as a Bonaire WebCams
membership - donations for sponsorship bring no additional benefits
other than one's name shown in the list below, and hopefully a good
warm feeling that you've helped support something which continues
to make Bonaire special and bring it to your desktops every day
(and could, some argue, prevent the onset of Post Bonaire Depression
Syndrome - although others argue the opposite). |
