To our dear Navy Parents...

I hope that this will be the last plea which I have to make. We are at 91%
of our goal with 295 Navy Donors having given something to this Fund Drive.

We only ask that you give if you can and we certainly don't want to be a
burden to anyone's personal finances but if you meant to send in something
and have been putting it off, PLEASE send it in today.

Stop what you're doing and write out that check or visit our on-line
donation site before you forget to do it again. We need YOUR support. If
you won't help, this service may not be here when you need us in the future.

If we've helped you over the past six months... If we've been here when you
needed support or encouragement... Or if we've just been here to remind you
that you're not alone with your concerns and problems, then please repay
some of that help and support with a donation of a few dollars to offset our
operating costs for the next six months.

I look at the numbers - 1,694 members total - and I know that there are at
least another 100 or so families out there who can spare $10 or $20. It's
not like that will break the bank.

(By the way... If all of the AOL members out there would just follow my
advice and dump AOL ($21.95 per month) for a local Internet Service Provider
($9.95 per month), you'd save at least $12 EACH MONTH! We could run this
whole shee-bang for that. There are over 640 AOL members on our lists -
times $12 per month comes out to over $92,000 per year. <Grin!> From what
I can tell, you must really like spending those big bucks and reading all of
those advertisements every time you log on.) Pardon me for getting carried
away.

Anyway... If you meant to send in a donation but have put it off, please
don't wait any longer. You may donate on-line using our SECURE SERVER at

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

When using the On-Line Donation web site, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU SELECT "NAVY"
AS THE AFFILIATION so that USNA-Net is properly credited for your donation.

OR

If you prefer to make your donation using a check, make it out to WP-ORG and
mail via Regular US Mail to:

WP-ORG (Designate NAVY on the memo line)
PO Box 2108
Abingdon, VA 24212-2108

(All donations are 100% tax deductible and subject to matching funds from
some employers.)

ONE LAST THING...

NAVY PARENTS have donated $11,460 to date.
ARMY PARENTS have donated $10,735 !!!

We're ahead of Army for the first time in any fund drive and you have to
remember that they have about 300 more member families than we do. I'd love
to KEEP the lead with a last minute surge of final donations from YOU to aid
our NAVY family.

Thanks for doing what you can...

Go NAVY - Beat Army !!!
