Parents,

As most of you are aware, we are currently in the midst of WP-ORG's Fund Drive 13. The purpose of this drive is to raise the $98,000 necessary to fund another six months of operation. WP-ORG is truly a remarkable organization and constantly amazes me at the services that it provides to West Point Parents such as myself. These are provided to us--anyone who qualifies and desires to subscribe--free of any direct charge. However, there are significant costs associated with providing these services. WP-ORG funds its operations through our voluntary contributions.

West Point parents are only one of many groups served by WP-ORG. I believe that we receive more benefit from WP-ORG than any other group.

Can you imagine what it would have been like if you had not had the benefit of WPP-NET, PARENT-FORUM AND PLEBE-NET? These three forums provide up-to-date information and advice, and have given many of us an understanding of the West Point experience that we could not have gotten any other way. I'm willing to bet that if you look back at the information you have received over the last six months you'll find that it has also saved you a significant amount of money or time, or both. Please consider this when you decide how much to donate to Fund Drive 13.

As you know, membership in these Lists is FREE. It's very similar to watching public TV. If you send in a donation, you get to watch excellent programming. But if you don't donate, you still receive the same great information. How much you donate is a personal decision, but I ask that you please consider the value that you have personally received over the last six months--and how much you'll value WP-ORG's services in the next six months--then donate accordingly. The more we donate, the better this service will become and the more useful it will be to each of us, every day.

The earlier we reach our goal, the sooner this fund drive will end. I've already made my donation and I hope you will be making yours soon.

It's easy to donate to FD13 by credit card at:

or by check made payable to WP-ORG:

Thank you. Your donations make WP-ORG possible.
