Re: [Cz-L] Paying for the Popovici memorial plaque

Dear Mimi - be happy to send you a check - but a mailing address would be
handy. "Perseverance furthers" says the I Ching (and probably all the wise
books in their different ways do too) and you really persevered!
congratulations to you. Remember how I once suggested that you could write a
(Kafkaesque) novel about all the procedures you went through to get to this
point? That could be your next project.

I wouldn't mind making my check for $50 since that's what I thought it would
come to when I volunteered - and would suggest that any surplus monies be
donated to local Jewish organizations, like the museum, Hased-Shoshana or
wherever else it might be needed.

Am really sorry to be unable to attend the ceremony! having been there so
recently I can't again afford to expend the time and money - but am sure it
will be a poignant, emotional moment! I'll have to go visit the plaque
another time.

all best

Sylvia
