We've been getting a ton of positive response to the banners this year. I
was at Newsfoo this weekend and a half-dozen people told me they donated

Hi everybody,
Today I created a page on Outreach called List of successful grant
applications. I hope that you will add your Chapter's success stories there!
Based
on what grant applications we know have worked in other countries we

Thanks for these comments everyone. I hate the auto-expanding and sticking
banners too!
But before I get into the discussion about banners, I want to deliver some
good news: After eight days of banners, we're free to take them down
