Erowid Announcement #62
Nov 21, 2005
Friends of Erowid,

The end-of-year matching gift offer has returned! Designed especially to encourage site visitors who have never contributed to Erowid before, for the next six weeks, qualifying $33 donations will be tripled, and qualifying $50 donations will be doubled.

This is a great opportunity for students and others who can't afford to give much but would like to take part in keeping information about psychoactive plants and chemicals freely available. We hope this matching grant, offered by an anonymous donor, will help us reach our goal of 1,250 Erowid members by the end of 2005. For more details, see:

Erowid.org/donations/donations_matching.shtml

Meanwhile, Issue #9 of Erowid Extracts has just been shipped to members. Make sure to renew now to receive your copy.

We welcome submissions, suggestions, criticisms, or corrections at submissions@erowid.org.

peace,
fire & earth
