I want to make it very clear that I'm not trying to promote free trips, etc., for me. I'll pay that part which is my own "thing," it would be small and beneath me to ask for help for that, but I do ask help for that part of the trip that is "for the cause." It is much cheaper to do an appearance tour in conjunction with my own travels than to do it by itself. By the same token it would be a lot cheaper for me to take an excursion flight from LA to Warsaw and return than to make all of the approximately 25 stops here and abroad that I will be doing. But those stops will find many more of our sisters as previous trips and appearances found many of you. So I simply ask your help in the form of some financial donations to my efforts to help defray some of the costs of planes, hotels, long distance phone bills and such.

Please mark any donations you wish to make as being "Public Relations Contributions" and Mary will put them aside and mark them as such. I will make a full financial report in an issue after my return and give the femmename and code of those who have helped (I will not publish the amount since $1 for some might well equal $50 for some others). Many of you have offered to help the effort in some way and this is one of the best ways you can do it and most appreciated by me. Remember that essentially I am the only voice speaking out to the public about this whole area and trying to both educate the general public and to allow our hidden sisters to dis- cover me and then us. So how about it?

Even though I will already have gone when you read this and will have already made many of the appearances, that does not mean that the bills will be paid. They will be waiting on my desk when I get home. "Fly Now, Pay Later!" Remember? So don't let the fact that I've already started deter you. Thanks in advance to all of you who will help in this way. Remember that just as there is more gold in the ground than has ever been mined, so also there are more FP sisters locked up alone (as you once were) than have ever been freed to come out into the light. They are a kind of prisoner of war too and I'd like to help them come "home" to understanding, ac- ceptance and friendship but I can't do it all alone.

Sincerely,

Virginia
