MESSAGE ON BACK OF ENVELOPE
Newsletter #11 June 2017 Made up from email notices of recent YouTube videos & Historical Documents
MESSAGE ON BACK OF ENVELOPE
Dear
Friends,
The
enclosed newsletter was created and printed especially for those for whom we
don't have email addresses and who consequently don't receive frequent email
notices of new YouTube videos, Historical
Documents, Newsletter, photo/essay reports and other items we produce to keep
all well informed about what the Foundation is doing. We are quickly
approaching the time when I will be very occupied for two months to finish the
exploration/photographic portion of my High
Uintas Wilderness Project (www.cordellmandersen.com)
and so from now until August 31st, when
the Foundation is retired, there will be fewer informational/promotional items
created, but please keep us in mind and help us finish our mission up to the
end of August. Between backpacks I will have to re-supply and
so will check the mail, and make contacts with our representatives in Guatemala
and keep the projects going right up to the end--but it's well to remember at
the end of August we do need to have in the bank account sufficient to meet our
year-long commitments, like at the Ariel
& Ines Andersen Chuluc School, so in the last month or so, an extra donation
or two will help a lot & if you are
one who donates once a year in December, please do it in August. We also just finished making available
all the newsletters from 1967-2017 & printed for you the new post from the
website that lists the new scanned newsletters several of which review critical
history.
In
addition to the historical videos & Historical Documents outlined in the
enclosed Newsletter, there will be at least one more YouTube
video of a Promotional/Historical
video made in 1991 & hopefully the amazing documentary about the Corn Improvement Project that showed
Indians how to achieve a 650% increase in corn yields. So check on the website for any such updates. THANKS A MILLION FOR ALL YOUR HELP IN
COMPLETING 50 YEARS OF EFFORT! Cordell

Note: The letter was especially for the Joseph Jensen family, whose wife, Cheryl, had just passed on and a contribution was received from family members. It has some interesting facts about our work. Joseph Jensen is my 2nd cousin who for more than 17 years has been the major contributor to the Foundation.
