    Dear AWI members:
    
    The following is a highlight of AWI actions since last Wednesday.
    
    
    1. STATEMENTS
    
    AWI issued one public statement (statement AWI9803008) in support 
    of the London rally.
    
    You may view all AWI public statements and action calls at:

    2. TASKS
    
    
    a. Open GFO position:
    
    The GFO position is still open. AWI members who feel the need to
    be more actively involved in the direction of AWI are encouraged
    to apply for the position.
    
    b. Open tasks
    
    We continue to urge members to help the AWI effort by volunteering to 
    help us with one of the tasks specified in the tasks page:
