Dear Dharma Friends: This is a special announcement for all friends of DharmaNet International. If you would like to save money and benefit DharmaNet International in the process, then we have an exciting program for you. DharmaNet International and Affinity are proud to announce the program that GUARANTEES YOU A SAVINGS OF AT LEAST 10% OVER YOUR PRESENT LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE SERVICE OR AFFINITY WILL DOUBLE YOUR MONEY BACK! Affinity is currently providing long distance service to constituents of over 1,800 organizations nationwide. Their relationship with some of America's foremost long distance companies allows them to buy their service in volume. Discounts, which are otherwise not available, are passed on to consumers to provide GUARANTEED savings. Better yet, in addition to the savings, Affinity will pay 5% of your net, collected usage to the benefit of DharmaNet International, each and every month, for as long as you use the service. DharmaNet International is particularly happy to be able to participate in this exciting opportunity for "right livelihood" -- enabling DharmaNet to continue and expand its commitment to public service, transcribing and making freely available important Buddhist texts, creating communications bridges between people, helping foster global understanding and community -- and to be able to do this without asking you for donations or membership dues, or to have to resort to subscription fees or user costs. Not only does this program help support DharmaNet at no cost to you, but it also helps you to save money. This is truly a WIN-WIN situation for you, your business, your extended family and friends, and for DharmaNet International. Please contact me by e- mail at dharma@netcom.com or Barry.Kapke@bdo.esn.org, including your postal mailing address, and I will send you an informational brochure and an application. I'm very happy to help pass on these GUARANTEED SAVINGS to you and to offer you the opportunity to help DharmaNet grow through our "Dialing for DharmaNet" Affinity program. With metta, Barry Kapke DharmaNet International Affinity Program P.O. Box 4951 Berkeley CA 94704-4951
