Dear members of WP-ORG,

Yes folks, it is that time again: today we begin WP-ORG's fourteenth fundraising drive. As most of you know, WP-ORG services are funded by your donations to these semi-annual drives. When asked what is an acceptable donation, our answer has always been the same; donate in accordance with the value you receive from the services provided by WP-ORG, not to exceed the amount you can afford.

WP-ORG is an independent volunteer organization completely separate from the United States Military Academy and its Associtation of Graduates (AOG), although we work very closely with both of them. We currently serve and support over 24,680 members from the USMA class year groups, parents of current cadets and midshipmen, and West Point societies and parent clubs as well as other special interest groups that are a part of our community.

We are governed by a volunteer board of advisors. Brief biographical sketches of the current members of the WP-ORG Board of advisors may be seen at:

http://www.west-point.org/service/advisor/

Our budget for the next six months is $98,400 and can be seen by going to :

Some may wonder why they should donate. An explanation may be found at:

Donate to FD14 by Credit Card</a>

Or you may donate by check made payable to WP-ORG and sent to:

WP-ORG
PO Box 595
Floyd, VA 24091-0595

Please be sure to indicate your affiliation and year on your check.

Regardless of the method you use, WP-ORG is recognized by the IRS as a 501(C)(3) Non-Profit Organization. 100% of your donation is tax deductible. For those who may need it, our EIN number is 51-03877132.

The authorization may be found at:

Thank you for your support! You are WP-ORG. Your donations make WP-ORG possible. If you receive more than one copy of this message, it only means that you have more than one e-mail address registered with WP-ORG.

For some unknown reason, I left the link to the credit card donation form out of my FD14 Kick-off Message sent last night.

Please send the following to your lists.

Thanks,
