Apologies as always for the necessity of cross-posting...
==============
To our friends and colleagues:
A pair of generous benefactors who wish to remain anonymous
recently sent us an unusual message that we promised to share
widely. In this case, we ask your indulgence. We have not and
will not make a practice of communicating fund-raising messages,
but this one must not be held back:
"As professional archaeologists, my wife and I are totally
impressed with the job that Rick Pettigrew has done with The
Archaeology Channel (www.archaeologychannel.org). In a world
where many archaeologists talk about the need to communicate the
value of archaeology to the public, Rick is actually doing - and
doing it on a scale few of us ever thought possible. We as a
profession need to support Rick, and give him the tools to make
The Archaeology Channel even bigger. We'll start by pledging to
match every contribution made to Archaeological Legacy Institute
through the end of June (up to a total of $1000). That means if
you send in $25, we'll send in $25. Let's show our collective
professional support to Rick for all the work he has done and
help him be even more successful."
For those who wish to respond, our postal address is:
Archaeological Legacy Institute
P.O. Box 5302
Eugene, OR 97405
USA
Funds received through this challenge will go toward urgently
needed equipment. As we are a tax-exempt nonprofit, all
contributions are tax-deductible. All donors will become Members
of The Archaeology Channel. Pledges received via e-mail
([log in to unmask]) before the deadline (end of June) will be
counted for the match.
Richard M. (Rick) Pettigrew, Ph.D., RPA
President and Executive Director
Archaeological Legacy Institute
