To our friends and colleagues:

We did it!  I would just like to express heartfelt gratitude personally and on behalf of our nonprofit organization to all of you out there who stepped up and helped us meet our goal to raise $1000 in matching funds by July 15.  Your assistance has enabled us to create a $2000 fund to obtain equipment badly needed to deliver programming for The Archaeology Channel (www.archaeologychannel.org).  Thank you also for your many visits to TAC, which have helped us demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of our project.  At the current rate, we will record over 700,000 hits on TAC within the month of July, the sixth straight month of new traffic records for our website.  That kind of support is making it possible for us to attract interest from film producers, underwriters, educators, granting foundations, and others as we pursue our mission to deliver the important messages of archaeology to the public.
