Leonard 80 years: Fund Raising for our Hydra Bench
Re: Leonard 80 years: Fund Raising for our Hydra Bench
Sent my contribution this morning.
If we need to we can do a bit of PR to promote the cause, but we might well raise the money from people visiting the forum alone.

that´s fine with mejarkko wrote:(several websites dedicated to LC's work have joined the project, too: Heck, Cohenights, Facebook pages and of course Marie's and my sites, but all those are read by active LC fans, most of them being Forum members, too)
glad if we don´t need a public fund raising

A bit of outside PR. I noticed on Twitter the other day - from Governor General's Performing Arts Awards Foundation - https://twitter.com/GovGPAAjarkko wrote: (several websites dedicated to LC's work have joined the project, too: Heck, Cohenights, Facebook pages and of course Marie's and my sites, but all those are read by active LC fans, most of them being Forum members, too)
In both French and English - link goes to Marie's site - http://www.webheights.net/speakingcohen/hydra80th.html

So happy to contribute to this wonderful project!
Thanks for the original idea, Anne!
Kudos to all the people involved for an OUTSTANDING effort! A trip to Hydra, bureaucracy, an architect, financial chores...

Re: Leonard 80 years: Fund Raising for our Hydra Bench
Just paid my contribution in EUR.
For six attempts PayPal wasn't accepting the Dublin email address - had to do a pretend email and copy that address and finally it all went though OK.
If this goes ahead and I never make it to Hydra physically then at least I will in this indirect way
But if we don't raise enough money for the bench, I'm simply pleased to be part of something else Leonard would put his seal of approval to.

Re: Leonard 80 years: Fund Raising for our Hydra Bench
I have donated with pleasure. I just wish my financial circumstances allowed for a larger sum.
Re: Leonard 80 years: Fund Raising for our Hydra Bench
Have just sent my pledge via Paypal. I hope I will get to sit on the bench one day.

Re: Leonard 80 years: Fund Raising for our Hydra Bench
The birthday bench sounds like a great concept, and quite appropriate to the occasion. I would like to say thank you to all the organizers, and wish you good luck in bringing the project to a successful conclusion. Our cheque is in the mail today.
Re: Leonard 80 years: Fund Raising for our Hydra Bench
All sounds really good, thank you so much to all involved. I will contribute tonight at registration in euros, Janet
