Peace Corps Fund asks for donations, announces September 29 Fund Raising event

The PeaceCorpsFund is moving fast towards our September special event to raise funds to support RPCV projects within the U.S.

The PeaceCorpsFund is not a membership organization. It has been established to help RPCVs to fund local projects to educate Americans about the world we knew as Volunteers. There is no paid staff, no full time office space, and all the work done for the PeaceCorpsFund is done by RPCVs volunteering their time as a Third Goal effort.

Now you can help. I need you to do two things.

1) Donate an item for our auction.

2) Send this message onto your RPCV friends and others who support the work of the Peace Corps.

Donations:

It is a wide range of items that you can donate. For example, a number of famous RPCV writers have sent me signed, first editions of their books. A Paris apartment has been donated so a couple or family can spend a week in Paris. We have a beautiful chess board sent by a RPCV from Krgyzstan, a rug from Romania, wines from NYC merchants. The list goes on and on.

The event on September 29th is in NYC and tickets will be for sale next week.

We will honor and present grants to five New York City RPCVs who have spent their careers teaching in the city, celebrating a lifetime of service to others.

Friends of the Peace Corps 170,000  strong Date: April 2 2005 No: 543 Friends of the Peace Corps 170,000 strong
170,000 is a very special number for the RPCV community - it's the number of Volunteers who have served in the Peace Corps since 1961. It's also a number that is very special to us because March is the first month since our founding in January, 2001 that our readership has exceeded 170,000. And while we know that not everyone who comes to this site is an RPCV, they are all "Friends of the Peace Corps." Thanks everybody for making PCOL your source of news for the Returned Volunteer community.
