[From Larry D. Smith]

Dear West Point Parents, Family, and Friends

After just 44 days, WP-ORG's Fund Drive 9 has topped 80% of the $95,000
goal. In dollars raised, we are more than a week ahead of the record
pace set during FD8. A remarkable achievement, reflecting both the
value of WP-ORG services, and the goodwill and generosity of members.

We are getting near the end of FD9, but we are not there yet.

At times like this we may have a tendency to say, "It's over", and
forget about it. Please don't do that yet. We still need to raise
about $18,000 to achieve the goal. Using the average to date, we still
need about 360 more donations to fund WP-ORG operations for the next six
months.

Why do we post these request? It's simple: we want to continue to
spread information about West Point and its cadets to you, and provide
for you lively, interesting forums to discuss your questions, ideas, and
concerns. Like you, I have a cadet at West Point. Keeping in touch
with what he is doing is of great interest to me. Through our parent
forums, I have been able to stay tuned in to the activities at USMA. On
a more personal basis, I am honored to be a moderator of one of these
forums.

WP-ORG is a living instrument, 20,000 members strong. Its forums are
filled with opinion and advice from thousands of members. As always,
membership in WP-ORP is provided free of charge to all in the WP
community, supported by members voluntary contributions. We sincerely
hope that we effectively present the case for you to support WP-ORG
during its semi-annual fundraisers, and that you are motivated to
donate. WP-ORG cannot exist without member support: your donations
make WP-ORG possible. If you have not done so, please donate today. We
need 360 more donations to achieve the goal. To donate please use our
secure credit site at:

Remember to indicate that you are a PARENT, even if you are a
grandparent or other family member or friend. By indicating PARENT when
makeing your donation you'll assure that your donation is credited to

If you prefer to make your donation by check or money order, please make

the memo space, and mail it to:

Your donation is 100% tax deductible, because WP-ORG is now recognized
