X-Message-Number: 29344 Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2007 18:02:46 -0700 (PDT) From: david pizer <> Subject: A little about Marce Johnson --0-332577386-1174611766=:45865 A little info about Marce Most of the Cryonet readers now know what a wonderful person Marce Johnson is and all the important contributions she made to the early cryonics movement before she became ill with the degenerative brain disease, Alzheimers. When reviewing her file the other day I realized that Marce was one of the earlier Venturists and that on June 27, 1989 she signed the Venturist Pledge which says: If I am revived from cryonic suspension, I will work hard to see that fellow Venturists, and all other cryonicists, are revived as well." So far we have raised about $12,500 to pay for her suspension. We now are taking PayPal. We need to raise a lot more money. If you want to send a check to help out with this, please make the check to: "The Venturists." Mail it to The Venturists, C/O The Creekside Lodge, 11255 State Route 69, Mayer Arizona, 86333. All contributions are tax deductable and if the suspension does not get done for any reason all money will be refunded. ====================================================================== A little info about the Venturists On another note, several people have asked how to get a Venturist Membership card which states the member's religious objection to autopsy. Mike Perry is working on creating a new, updated card. To get your card, please write Mike and tell him you want to become a Venturist and he will send you one. So far, over 200 cryonicists have asked to be full Venturist Members since 1986, and another couple hundred want to be members as soon as they can make their cryonics suspension arrangements. ====================================================================== Announcement about Venturist meeting in May This year the Venturists are planning to hold a meeting at the Creekside Lodge in Mayer Arizona on Sunday May 27th. Everyone who is interested in cryonics is invited to attend. Also anyone who has the expertise to hook us up so that people can attend via their computers is invited to come and do just that. More on this later. When this campaign to help Marce if finally over, I will write each contributor a personal thank you letter. In the meantime, I wish to take this opportunity to thank those who have sent in money, those who have helped spread the word about this, and those who have helped in other ways. My deepest heartfelt thanks to all. David Pizer Now that's room service! Choose from over 150,000 hotels in 45,000 destinations on Yahoo!
