Greetings from Our Chairman

AN OPEN BOOK

I've been adding up all we've accomplished this year. Wow!

Our impressive achievements are easy to recognize because we're so committed to transparency. Take a look at AFTAU's most recent financial report for FY 2007-08 -- our books are an open book.

Together, we've set vital, pioneering research in motion. Sponsored nearly a thousand scholarships and fellowships. Broken ground for extensive student housing and a National Museum of Natural History. The list goes on and on.

And we've done it with the lowest fundraising expenses of all the American Friends of Israeli universities -- just 10%.

As we approach the end of this year's campaign, take a moment to savor our successes -- and make your donation for 2008-09.

Our transparency makes it clear: your ongoing support is paying significant dividends for TAU, for Israel, and for the world.
