(202)347-0017 Fax: (202)347-0018 Email: ifcss@wam.umd.edu IFCSS CALLS FOR DONATION The past year has witnessed a tremendous increase in IFCSS activities, which resulted in a heightened awareness that such an organization is in the best interests of the CSS community in the U.S. IFCSS has recently convened its 5th Congress and the new leadership is planning great expansions of its services to CSS and our fellow countrymen in China. Although some of you have been granted the green card and many of you will get it in the near future, IFCSS can continue to serve you. In fact, to protect and promote the interests of those who have obtained PR requires an even stronger organization, whose survival, however, depends on your support. For those who benefit from the CSPA, please remember that thousands of families are still suffering from the June 4th Massacre. Many young people have been permanently disabled and other families have lost their bread-earners. It is our duty to help them. During the 4th term, IFCSS sent a total of $27,000 back to China, mostly to ordinary people rather than well-known dissidents. The current IFCSS office will organize humanitarian aid in a more systematic way by setting up computerized data base in the U.S. and a distribution network inside China. It is extremely important that these victims know we have not forgotten them. If you want to help with either the normal operation of IFCSS or its humanitarian relief program, you can send your contribution to: IFCSS 733 15th St. N.W., Suite 440 Washington D.C. 20005 For the humanitarian program, please make your checks payable to "IFCSS Humanitarian Relief Program". For contribution to IFCSS, please make it payable to "IFCSS". Thank you. ********************************************************************* * IFCSS Headquarters Office * *-------------------------------------------------------------------* * President: Lin Changsheng Vice President: Shi Heping * *-------------------------------------------------------------------* * PBS-L is IFCSS's news distribution list for individuals.
