HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Jim Priestly was the National Secretary and Treasurer for many years and was the force behind the idea of a State Rose Garden in Victoria. Had it not for his persistence we would not have this award winning garden.
[From World Rose News, February 2018, p. 37:] In the true sense of the word, John Priestly was not a rose breeder, but rather an administrator who happened to breed three roses. As an administrator, he had no peer guiding the then newly formed National Rose Society of Australia, as Secretary, from its inauguration in 1975, until he stood down in 2000. During his tenure as National Secretary, he was actively involved in the setting up of the Victorian State Rose Garden at Werribee Park Estate, eventual passing of the Bill for Plant Varieties Rights Legislation and development of the Australian Rose Annual. As a result of his ability as an administrator, he received a number of prestigious Rose Awards including “The Australian Rose Award” and “National Rose Society Service Award”.
