Mendele Personal Notices & Announcements
October 18, 2010
To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests:
1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance.
2. Send material as plain text: no HTML, other coding, or attachments;and
write MENDELE PERSONALS in the subject line.
3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has
posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames.

Subject:Join the Bund on Wikipedia Project
Friends,
In honor of the 113th anniversary of the founding of the General Jewish
Labour Bund of Lithuania, Poland, and Russia in Vilna on October 7, 1897,
The Bund on Wikipedia Project invites you to join our growing online
movement of Wikipedia Editors dedicated to creating and editing Wikipedia
articles about the Jewish Labour Bund. Since our inception in August of
2009, the Project has created and edited nearly 100 Wikipedia Articles
about the Bund, and has donated them in their printed format to the YIVO
Institute for Jewish Research. Our Project seeks to assist professional
and non-professional researchers conducting their research on the Bund,
and to preserve the memory and legacy of the Bund through Wikipedia. We
ask that you take part in our Project by becoming a Wikipedia Editor or
with a kind donation of any kind. For more information about our work,
please visit our website: http://bundwiki.weebly.com/.
Yours,
Eli Russ
Director and Founder
The Bund on Wikipedia Project
