New grand total for 2007

I've just received news of more donations for December 2007. The total for the year is now US$4,604 - a grand total.

Thanks for everyone's help!

Happy new year!

Forward to 2008!

2008, as I write, looms on the horizon. But the looming doesn't carry menace, but promise. Some of the promise is no more than hope - will we succeed in bringing in significant funding?

But some of the promise is guaranteed. There are a number of translation projects in the works - thanks to specific, generous donations this year - in particular for Salakas and Tauragnai - that will be completed in 2008. When we know how these cost out we will select further translation projects - and I do need group members to tell me what their priorities are.

I thank everyone who has contributed this year and who has helped make this a standout year.

I list below the donations to LitvakSIG for each year from 1999 that have been specified to Zarasai district. All figures are in US$.

1999....................228.00
2000................1,358.00
2001.................1,600.00
2002 ...............1,000.00
2003...................304.00
2004....................371.00
2005....................136.00
2006....................139.00
2007................4,054.00

This year's scale of donations means that we can make real progress. Please help keep this momentum going. If you haven't already, please think about a major donation - from yourself, from your family or from someone else who might be persuaded to contribute.
