Dear TDWG Members and Friends
We are seeking sponsorships for our annual meeting in Fremantle this year.
As you know, TDWG is an international organization reliant on volunteer support and goodwill. Our income from memberships and conference fees is very small. Sponsorship of the meeting will help build a small reserve to support TDWG's important work. We will acknowledge any sponsorship on the web as well as at the conference.
If you aren't already a member http://www.tdwg.org/membership/ , or haven't renewed for 2008, please do so as soon as possible (the discount on the conference fee for members is US$100). Even small donations http://www.tdwg.org/membership/make-a-donation/ to TDWG would be very gratefully received.
We are very grateful for your support, and the sponsorship we have already received from
