Erowid Announcement #63
Dec 21, 2005
Happy Solstmas (www.solstmas.org)!
We're psyched about the progress of the current matching grant offer, and have just 18 more *new members* to go to take advantage of all the available funds. For New Members:
Erowid.org/donations/donations_matching.shtml
Unfortunately, we're falling behind on our second goal of reaching 1,250 current members by the end of the year. It doesn't look like we're going to reach this target, but *we need your help* to get 100 new members or renewals in the next 10 days. For Renewals:
Erowid.org/donations/membership_renew.php
If you've been thinking of making a contribution to Erowid but have been putting it off, now is an excellent time to do so (an Erowid membership with a t-shirt also makes a great gift). Your donation of any amount helps us keep the collection of documents up-to-date and growing, providing advertisement-free information that can't easily be found anywhere else. Thanks for your help!
We welcome submissions, suggestions, criticisms, or corrections at submissions@erowid.org.
peace,
fire & earth
