Theresa,
In all kindness, having income to cover expenses (hosting &
web maintenance, not having to rely on members to bring free
chocolate and coffee, and maybe being able to set up exhibits at
local events, among other things) does not equal profit. Nobody is
going to get rich from an ad on our website (including Mostly
Digital, maybe that is why they charge more than the Apple store).
Best wishes,
Joe
