    The following is a highlight of AWI actions since last Wednesday.

    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.
    
    
    3. WEB
    
    a. Pages added

    4. OUTREACH
    
    We would like to ask each and every one of you to help us
    advertise AWI.  We will e-mail to you this week a simple flyer 
    in MS Word format that we would encourage you to print,
    copy and distribute all around you. If you are in school,
    the best place to advertise AWI is your international office.
    
    
    5. MEMBERSHIP
    
    AWI's membership is approaching 40. The list of members is at: https://members.tripod.com/~AWI_GM/AWIMembers.html
    
    
    6. MEMBER SUGGESTIONS:
    
    The members suggestions are recorded in:
    https://members.tripod.com/~AWI_GM/AWISuggestions.html
    
    There have been no new suggestions this week. Again, please
    do not hesitate to let me know if any suggestion has been overlooked
    
    7. OTHER:
    
    a. The Newsletter
    
    The newsletter has been completed and shipped to various
    individuals, human rights organizations, newspapers and
    news outlets, universities, and government institutions.
    The production of the newsletter has cost us in excess
    of $120 (to make 100 copies).  The board continues to
    bear the burden of the cost, but if you would like to
    help us with a donation, we would appreciate it very much.
    A complimentary copy of the newsletter will be shipped to 
    those who donate whatever sum they can afford.  If you want
    a copy, please send your snail mail address to Ahmed Bouzid:
    bouzid@erols.com
    
    
    b. Fund Raising:
    
    Following the initiation of our fund raising campaign, AWI started
    receiving some donations. The amount received does not cover 
    yet the expenses necessary to keep AWI running. Unlike most
    associations, AWI does not charge membership dues. Donations
    from members who can afford it will, however, be greatly 
    appreciated.
