Appeal Balance Growing

Exactly seven months out from this year's Olympiad in Dresden, the local Olympiad Appeal is steadily growing a healthy balance. The Appeal site was only set up in March but already donations received to date amount to AUD$4885 - apparently already in excess of previous years' appeals and enough to cover two airfares! Of course, there's still a long way to go with a target set at $26,292. I'm sure it's possible to make it, but even hitting 50% would be pretty outstanding!

Pay day is tomorrow for many, including for yours truly, so hopefully there should be a healthy boost by end of week.

For the time being, kudos go to our friends in Queensland. These guys are presently leading with total donations received from that state at nearly over two G's so far, way in excess that of funds received from New South Wales. Hec, even the NSWCA hasn't yet bothered. Although after having been hit with financial setbacks in the last 2 years running, their extra frugality this year may be forgiven.

And by the way - while most state associations have promoted the Appeal via the banner below, the NSWCA can't be bothered with that either. I mean, what's their problem?
