Good day to you, my friends, this year’s Annual Support Drive is winding down on Sunday night and with your help, I’m trying to reach a goal of 1 in 20 of you contributing what you can to sustain this service.
Will you be one of the 1 in 20?
Whether it’s $15, $30, $60, $120+/year, or $3, $5, $10, $20+/month (or any one-time or monthly amount that’s doable for you) it all helps sustain this work, and helps me pay for related expenses and equipment (like my computer which died last year during a severe weather outbreak), software, many subscriptions etc.

Look, if you don’t have means, I get it, and I’m just grateful you’re here!
And if asking for support to sustain work that’s published on a free site seems a bit odd, I get it.
But the thing is, I work hard consistently serving this community day in and day out 365 days a year, so I feel ok about annually asking for support from you for the work that I reliably produce for you.
Because you voted me best local weatherperson in The Valley Advocate’s Readers Poll for 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018, this is where you’ve collectively told me that I best serve this community and our local marketplace.

I’m gratefully asking for your help today because I’m truly independent.
I’m not backed by any group or anyone, except for you and this community.
You rely on me, and I rely on you.
No matter what kind of weather strikes, when it strikes, or how severe it is, I’m there and I show up for you and yours, and hope to continue, so I’m hoping you’ll be one of the 1 in 20.

WHAT A FEW OF YOU THINK OF MY WORK
“I am a builder from Chicopee. We depend on accurate forecasts to feed our families. The weather dictates when we start a project, what work we’ll do, and our scheduling. You are my go-to guy for weather. I will happily support your work in the same manner in which you help to support mine, thank you.” –Rich R.
“Dave’s forecasts are always the most precise available, and are invaluable for planning business activities during the winter.” – Jim K.
“Let’s be real. Rich, poor, conservative, liberal, young, old, black, white, brown, purple, yellow, whatever… I think we can all agree on at least one thing: This man is a local treasure. May he and his forecasts continue for as long as the winds in Western Mass do bloweth wildly and at random.” –Tim R.
“Thank you for your hype free, consistent and reliable and extremely helpful weather reporting!” –Alison W.

PLEASE HELP ME REACH MY 5% GOAL TODAY
While I’m hopeful I’ll reach my goal by the end of Sunday night, if I don’t, I may remind folks as the year goes on about options for supporting my work (also, some folks may intend on giving, but now’s not the right time for them).
In closing, with your support today I’m hopeful to continue to serve you, your family, your business, your school system, your organization, your livelihoods, and this community for a long time to come to so I can continue to help protect life and property of my neighbors and friends.
I want to continue over the long term to advise you, consult with you, educate you, and hopefully make you smile, laugh, and feel some gratitude along the way.
And with your help today, I intend on doing just that.
Thank you very much! Sincerely, Dave Hayes
