Our appeal for funds and members has gone extremely well -- already netting over $3,500 in much needed operating funds. But we still need 30 more new paying members to reach our goal of 750 by the end of the month. (Our total number of e-mail subscribers is over 4,700.) If you haven't yet sent in your $25 annual membership (or $10 for virtual, e-mail- only membership), we need your help! If we can meet our stated goals, then our funders will feel encouraged that DRCNet is an organization that can make it in the big leagues. Hence, your small checks will turn into big money for the movement. Send them to: DRCNet, 2000 P St., NW, Washington, DC 20036, or use our secure form at http://www.drcnet.org/drcreg.html for credit card donations or call them in to (202) 293-8340 or fax to (202) 293-8344. Extra donations from new and current members are also needed and are greatly appreciated.

Copies of Marijuana Myths, Marijuana Facts are still available free to anyone who donates $30 or more to DRCNet. Please note that contributions to DRCNet are not tax-deductible. If you wish to make a tax deductible donation, please contact us at [email protected], or call us and we will tell you how to do so. (Information also available by link from the afore-mentioned secure form.)

(If you are expecting a copy of MMMF, made your donation more than three weeks ago, but haven't received your copy yet, please let us know -- e-mail to [email protected] with the subject line "MMMF" or "Marijuana Myths, Marijuana Facts".)
