Jon,

The impressive thing is that all of our visitors come strictly through word

The only expense we've incurred thus far is the fact that I purchased 2
domains for use with the project, at a combined cost of $83 for 3 years.

You can take a look at http://www.findaschool.org/ , and you can find out
