In the next week, we're planning to post the email copy we will send to past donors at the launch of the campaign for people to see ahead of time and to translate as well. We're excited because this is the first year we will be sending translated email messages to our donors. Please help us out by translating and sending this around to a couple people who could help with translation. Jon and Siko have been working hard on translation and will have more to add on translation as we get closer to the fundraiser.

We'll be sending out more fundraiser information and specific dates as we get closer over the next couple of weeks.
