13TH YEAR

SUPERSTITIOUS?

I once read a sign which read: "This is a non-profit organization; We didn't plan it that way, but that's how it turned out."

Well WE planned it that way, but we did not plan to be non-profit to the point of running a close second to the U.S. Postal Department in deficit expenditures per year.

Each year we launch a Fall Fund Drive to help pay this inevitable deficit. Some of these drives manage to cover the expense of printing and mailing these pleas; others add more red ink to the debit column and a few even make a profit.

For those of you whom we have assisted without request of remuneration, a donation would be a welcome way to show your thanks.

And, for those of you who have never found yourselves in a crisis needing our assistance, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Like the BILL OF RIGHTS, you may never need to use our legal or professional help, but we're awfully nice to have around.

Will you help us in trying to buck superstition and make this, our thirteenth year, a lucky one?

We realize that one dollar can be 50% of one's spending money and we appreciate these contributions as much as the larger sums. But please, may we beg you, NOT to send in any single contribution of $1000 or more; our treasurer has a weak heart and he's the only one we trust with the money.

REMEMBER! NOTHING IS AS ANONYMOUS AS CASH.
