          Update Information of Donation Collections for
         June Fourth Victims and Yunnan Earthquake Relief

  The IFCSS appreciates the generous donations from Chinese  students
and scholars responding the calls regarding assistance of June Fourth 
victims for Spring Festival and relief of Yunnan Lijiang  earthquake, 
respectively.

  1. June Fourth Foundation Donation

  As of release of this message,  the HQ received seventeen donations
with total amount up to $820.00.  The June Fourth Foundation has sent 
out humanitarian assistance fund  in  three  batches  in the past two 
months with total amount of $8,880.     It is preliminarily estimated 
that sixty families have benefited from the efforts. 

  All donors  should  have already received acknowledgement receipts,
signed by the IFCSS President, which could be used for tax exemption. 
Please contact us if you sent out a check but still haven't got rece-
ipt. To avoid the fund exhausted,  the  June  Fourth Foundation calls 
again the Chinese community for continued donation and support. Thank 
you.

  2. Yunnan Earthquake Relief Donation

  As of release of this message, the HQ received eighteen checks. The
HQ staff has contacted the office in charge in Lijiang City,  Yunnan,
for sending the check over there.  The first check, $1,000,  will  be
sent to Lijiang right away. We are hereby calling for more donations, 
which may make the relief work easier in Lijiang after  the  horrible 
earthquake on February 6th of 1996.
