Specify, for David Chadwick's Cucumber Project -

I don't like to use my name but it makes it real clear for the IHS treasurer. The scope of what I'm doing is more than just the Cucumber Project which is basically working on my archives and interviewing people, but again, I don't want to confuse the IHS treasurer.

I'll send an official acknowledgement of receipt of your gift with sincere words of gratitude ASAP so let me know if you don't hear from me. The IHS keeps 5%. If you need more info on the IHS like their 501c3 number or financial statement, just let me know.

If you don't need the tax deduction, by all means send your kind and generous contribution to

David Chadwick
PO Box 2543
Sebastopol CA 95473

Feel free to email me at <dchad2 [at] sonic.net>. Of course you substitute @ for [at].

For info on past fundraising efforts which really applies pretty closely to what I'm doing now, go to Cucumber Project. There are letters of support, prior fundraising letters and more.
