Graduates and parents,

WP-ORG's Fund Drive 9 continues: we are currently at 19% of the goal. We 
need your support. Sincere thanks to all who have already donated. If you 
would like to donate, please visit our secure credit card site:

https://www-secure.west-point.org/wporg/donate

or, if you prefer, mail your check payable to "WP-ORG" to

            WP-ORG
            P.O. Box 2108
            Abingdon, VA 24212-2108

We appreciate your support.

In this message I'll give you a brief description of the array of services 
provided by WP-ORG. Through the hard work of our volunteer programmers and 
moderators, WP-ORG delivers:

* Free e-mail forums (listservers) that promote discussion of topics and 
timely dissemination of information. Graduates use these to coordinate 
reunion activities, organize get-togethers, or discuss current events. 
Parents learn about happenings at USMA, get questions answered by other 
parents, and create a virtual community. Societies and other interest 
groups also use these forums to get information out to their membership 
quickly and efficiently, saving each group time and money. The following 
link will take you to many of our forums:

http://www.west-point.org/lists/

* Free web hosting for grad Personal Home Pages (PHP), classes, societies, 
parents clubs, and cadet activities/sports. Every graduate has been given a 
home page on WP-ORG's system. Numerous parents clubs and West Point 
Societies have also taken advantage of this offering to provide another 
outlet of information to their members. To learn more about PHP's for 
grads, follow this link:

http://www.west-point.org/users/

* Eulogy pages for each deceased graduate, including the ability to post 
and read personal tributes. This is one of WP-ORG's most important 
activities. WP-ORG has developed the infrastructure for recording the 
actions, accomplishments, and impact of each and every graduate's life 
through Memorial Articles and/or personal eulogies by family, friends, and 
classmates. For example, a plebe at USMA, CDT John Heinmiller '04, recently 
passed away. The outpouring of memories and condolences from parents and 
fellow cadets was overwhelming. Follow this link and click on "Eulogy" in 
the left-hand column:

http://www.west-point.org/users/usma2004/x46251/

To see eulogies for other graduates, go to

http://defender.west-point.org/service/eulogy/

and select the corresponding graduation year in the drop-down box.

* Free permanent e-mail addresses for graduates. Every graduate can 
activate his or her permanent e-mail address and use it as a central, 
unchanging address even when switching ISP's:

http://www.west-point.org/users/

* Free JobBank for posting and finding job opportunities. As graduates 
transition out of the military, WP-ORG helps them network with other 
graduates through the numerous listings at:

http://defender.west-point.org/service/jobbank/

These are just of few of the services WP-ORG provides through the 
dedication of its volunteers and the donations of its users. WP-ORG serves 
us every day. Please show your support now. Thank you!
