- re scholarships, etc.

[Guest guest]

- Have you had a chance to read any of the information in the

MAGIC newsletters, or the postings here on the listserve about

fundraising the money for airfare?

We have scholarships that pay for hotel and registration, and easy

fundraising methods for airfare. Out of our 20 or so scholarship

families so far, more than half have fundraised their airfare. We

have comprehensive information that can help you, and several moms

have offered to give any advice as well ( Kearns for one).

With regards to membership renewals, membership is on a calendar

year, and renewal notices were mailed to everyone in November of

2003, and then again I just mailed a renewal notice about 4 weeks

ago, and it had a letter from me with information about our plans

for the upcoming year, and it had a separate letter about Dr.

Harbison's move. If you have not gotten any of these, I would call

MAGIC at 800-3MAGIC3 and ask them to investigate. You can ask them

about applying for a free membership at that time as well.

Good luck!!! It is easy! We would love to see you at the

convention. Last year more than 25% of our attending families were

there on scholarship -- courtesy of the fundraising efforts of all

of the other families out there (you know who you are) that donated

money, did fundraisers, etc. Thank you all!
