FUNDRAISING: We are half way there! PT has received over $10,000.00 in online and check donations during the month of August and through September 29. Any donation received before October 31 will be matched. With your donation, we can reach the $20,000.00 mark!
COMPUTER NEEDED: The office is in vital need of a new computer. If you are able to make a dedicated donation towards this purchase and/or have ideas on how to raise funds among your connections we will mount a plaque in your honor onto it! We are told our best options are a 15-inch MacBook Pro ($ 2,148.00); 13-inch MacBook Pro ( 1,758.00) or a 13-inch MacBook Air ($ 1,755.00).
REBUILDING THE PT WEBSITES: As many of you know, we are in the process of rebuilding the PT websites. As part of that process, we are working on updating pictures in our archives. We ask PT members to send Peter Gudaitis up to six of their best digital photos. The images should be inspiring and show you at an event at which you represented PT. Please be sure to clearly label them with the names of people in the image, name of the event and the date.
PT IN THE MEDIA: We are still compiling a media report to members telling of all you helped create by being out there and giving interviews, attending public events, lecturing at colleges, churches, universities and mosques. Thank you!!!! Please send us any links (print, video, radio) you might have. Please be in touch with Andrea or Katharina. All the media coverage we have received is pure gold and we want to share it far and wide for a long time to come! We are being heard. Did you know that Ralph Nader read the PT statement at an event in Washington, D.C.?
