WE ARE GOING
TO TURN OUR ATTENTION TO FINISHING THE FUNDRAISER: At this point the January
fundraiser has gone on too long, and might well drag on quite a bit longer.
Effectively we are 400 donations short of completing the January drive. It's
better to focus our efforts on finishing the drive now. These are the funds that
will be used to cover the organization's expenses for the next 30 days so it is
a task that must be completed. Our thanks to all. / Marc Ash - Founder, Reader
