Thanks very much!
Hi there,
I would like to thank everyone who contributed to our recent fund-raising drive. Donations are still coming in but we are close to achieving our goal. Our readers have been unexpectedly generous. It’s a big boost for our morale, apart from helping us pay the bills.
I am taking a brief holiday, so there will be no newsletter next week. But we will resume on the following weekend.
All the best and thanks again.
Michael Cook
