We have launched our own 2008 Israeli Stamp Act. The Stamp Act's purpose is to request a donation of stamps from our members, friends and supporters to help defray the cost of mailing our ongoing newsletter. And we've already got some donations: Thanks to Stan, Ernestine, Ruth Shaffer, Margarita, Tony and Susan and Paul. And that's not all! Frieda Gerson also has contributed to the stamp fund. Always appreciated. Not to be outdone and in their fine tradition of support our veteran contributors Raymond Abraham and David Sassoon once again have given to keep the printed newsletter coming. And let's not fail to thank Mike Shwartz for his generous contribution. EXTRA! Bat Sheva sent in a last-minute donation of stamps from Nethanya... what a gal!
How about you? Donate some stamps or funds in any amount to help buy stamps. It's appreciated by all those people (including you) who read the printed newsletter.
