RE: [Cz-L] Money

Dear Hardy and Mimi,
If your message referred to my last posting, suggesting that efforts to aid=
 living people must come before looking after graveyards - then rest assure =
that I never fooled myself there are some hidden funds waiting for a worthy =
cause to be spent on. On the contrary: I think that a large group like the C=
z-list, when it will put their minds to it, can easily r a i s e funds, do=
nations and volunteers for such a cause.
The same goes for Mimi's suggestion: I have not the means or the contacts n=
eeded to make a data-base of all needy Czernowitzers all over the world. How=
ever the group can easily contribute by sending names and addresses of needy=
 people they know (or know about) to form such data-base. The only problem t=
here will be how to keep it in the Jewish traditional way of "Matan Ba'Sette=
r".
As you surely know, the WOBJ in Israel sends, for the last 50 years, money =
to a relatively large group of old, sick and poor Czernowitzers. Their list =
could be the start of a much wider data-base.
