Mendele Personal Notices & Announcements October 18, 2010
To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests: 1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance. 2. Send material as plain text: no HTML, other coding, or attachments;and write MENDELE PERSONALS in the subject line. 3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames. _______________________________________________________________ Date: Mon, 04 Oct 2010 23:01:57 -0400 From: "Eli - [email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject:Join the Bund on Wikipedia Project Friends, In honor of the 113th anniversary of the founding of the General Jewish Labour Bund of Lithuania, Poland, and Russia in Vilna on October 7, 1897, The Bund on Wikipedia Project invites you to join our growing online movement of Wikipedia Editors dedicated to creating and editing Wikipedia articles about the Jewish Labour Bund. Since our inception in August of 2009, the Project has created and edited nearly 100 Wikipedia Articles about the Bund, and has donated them in their printed format to the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. Our Project seeks to assist professional and non-professional researchers conducting their research on the Bund, and to preserve the memory and legacy of the Bund through Wikipedia. We ask that you take part in our Project by becoming a Wikipedia Editor or with a kind donation of any kind. For more information about our work, please visit our website: http://bundwiki.weebly.com/. Yours, Eli Russ Director and Founder The Bund on Wikipedia Project http://bundwiki.weebly.com/ _______________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ Please do not use the "reply" key when writing to Mendele.
