OREGON PUBLIC NETWORKING--- 13 hours left in the April Fund drive!

We're within $170 of our goal for April.  It'd be great if we broke the
thermometer again this month (I'd make a new one with the *same*
calibration and size for May, so don't worry about upping the ante :-)

A big thanks to everyone who's pledged and sent money this month.  Clif
is going to set up even more phone lines and buy a more reliable
terminal server which will be capable of routing Internet SLIP/PPP
connections without bogging down the system.  You can all take pride in
knowing that you are helping us build one of the first public access
internet systems in the country-- and it seems to be working!  What we
do here in Oregon may establish a precedent on the national scale.

If you haven't already pledged/sent a contribution this month, please
do so and become a member today (before midnight, if possible).  

Please mail a check today (payable "Oregon Public Networking" or "OPN")
to:

            OPN, Attn: Fundraising
            PO Box 1221
            Eugene OR 97440-1221

Write your user-id (login name) on the check.  Then send an e-mail
message to pledge@efn.org saying how much you're mailing in so we can
update the pledge thermometer and add you to the priority access list.
Thanks for your support.
