Getting Personal - Again

_____________________________________________

Windsor Chair Resources was launched in 1998 as a personal website to provide resources for chairmakers and enthusiasts. We were pleasantly startled when the website grew beyond our expectations to meet viewer requests for information and services throughout the world. Its growth, however, made it necessary to charge a minimal fee to keep the website and participant listings updated . As many of you know from our annual letter, it has been a struggle to raise enough funds to meet our financial output.  What this has meant is that we have had the tasks of billing, record keeping and tax filing for no profit, and often a loss.  

Which brings us to our title.  We have made the difficult decision to return the Windsor Chair Resources website to a personal website.  It will remain online with many of the same features and information offered now.  We have worked hard over the years to get a good placement in search engines and realize many of you rely on us as a referral source.  For that reason, it is not our intent to remove listings presently on the website.  However, we will check links periodically and broken website links to defunct sites or sites that have changed addresses without notifying us will be removed. Paid listings will be honored until June 1, 2009, meaning you may send us any changes to your listing and we will post them until that date. We are, however, not accepting new listings.

Through the past 11 years, we have come to know many of you personally by email and phone.  You have shared your challenges with us as well as your personal joys.  We feel honored to be part of this community, and hope you will continue to offer your comments, and share your experiences.  Thank you for your support of WCR through the years and our very best wishes go with you for your future successes.
