[JGSGB Announcements List (jgsgb-announce]

Title: Donate to the Boston 2013 Conference

To our Members and Friends:

We are sending out this reminder in case any of you would like to make a tax-deductible contribution before the year ends.

As you know, our Society will be sponsoring the next International Conference on Jewish Genealogy, August 4–9, 2013, in Boston. This is the premier event in the world of Jewish Genealogy, and we are honored to have been selected. Over 1,000 researchers are expected to attend and over 200 sessions will await them. Many of you have already offered to help, some are already engaged in the planning, and many more will be needed during the conference.

In addition to enlisting volunteers, we need to raise funds to bring exceptional speakers and programs to the conference while keeping conference fees affordable. While we are approaching companies and individuals for major gifts, we are also turning to you, our members and friends, for help in funding an outstanding conference.

Please consider making a contribution today. Every contribution will be welcome, and every donor will be recognized in the printed and digital conference materials. Donors contributing $100 or more will also receive a special JGSGB pin to wear at the conference.

Contributions can be made online or by mail. The easiest and fastest way is to go to the JGSGB web page at www.jgsgb.org/donate.html for payment by credit card or PayPal. You can also send a check payable to "JGSGB" to:

JGSGB—Boston 2013
P.O. Box 610366
Newton, MA 02461-0366.

If you are interested in making a more substantial gift or sponsoring a special feature such as a speaker, visiting archivist, film, or computer workshop, please contact us at 2013chairs [at] jgsgb.org.

This is going to be a fantastic conference! We hope to see you all there!
