    Dear AWI members:
    
    Our General Manager, Abdenour Achab, is not available this week, so I will be 
    writing the update on his behalf.
    
    
    1. STATEMENTS
    
    AWI issued no public statement this week.
    
    You may view all AWI public statements and action calls at:

    2. TASKS
    
    
    a. Open GFO position:
    
    The GFO position is still open. AWI members who feel the need to
    be more actively involved in the direction of AWI are encouraged
    to apply for the position.  For a detailed description of what
    the GFO position entails, please visit:
    
            https://members.tripod.com/~AlgeriaWatch/GFOTasksL.html
    
    
    
    3. WEB
    
    a. Pages added
    
    No changes have been made to the site since last Wednesday.  Members are
    invited to suggest additions and modifications.
    
    
    4. OUTREACH
    
    a. Distributing flyer
    
    In our continuing effort to make people aware of AWI's existence,
    we continue to ask that each and every one of you to help us
    advertise AWI.  Attached to this file is a simple flyer in word
    format.  Please print and distribute around you.
      
    
     b. Multilingual flyer
    
    We have collected the following language versions of the AWI mission
    statement: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Turkish,
    and Serbo-Croatian.  Our repeated calls to out compatriotes for an
    Arabic version and an Imazighen version have yielded no reply.
    
    5. MEMBERSHIP
    
    An updated page of members may be found at:

    names beside email addresses.  Please consult the page and let us

    7. OTHER
    
    a. Fund Raising:
    
    After repeated unsuccessful appeals to AWI members and the Algerian
    community at large for help with the financial burden of keeping AWI
    afloat, the board is taking steps to seek funding from other sources.
    All the same, we do still you to contribute whatever small amount you
    can afford.
     
    
                                    *
    
    Ahmed Bouzid, 
    
    for the General Manager
