[1] Beth
Mardutho is holding a fund raising raffle to celebrate its
10-year anniversary. The proceeds will go towards the Beth
Mardutho Endowment, and various projects. While all those who
work for the Institute do so on voluntary basis, the Institute
incurs many expenses.
[2] The fund
raising takes the form of a cash-prize Raffle: 35% of what we
raise will be distributed as prizes. The first prize is 20% of
the proceeds, the second prize is 10%, and the third prize is
5%. For example, if we raise $10,000, the first prize will be
$2,000, the second $1,000 and the third $500. Tickets can be
purchased on www.bethmardutho.org.

“Although the uncertain economy makes
it difficult for all of us to make new financial
commitments just now,” said Prof. Kathleen McVey,
treasurer of Beth Mardutho, “the same circumstance makes
it vital for each of us to support the organizations we value.
Every contribution to Beth Mardutho, however small, will
help to promote ecumenical study of the Syriac
heritage.”
[4] Our
major accomplishments during the last 10 years include
publishing Hugoye: Journal of Syriac Studies twice a
year (since 1998), adding Syriac to the Unicode standard, the
design of over 20 Meltho Fonts for Windows XP, digitizing over
600 Beth Gazo melodies, and holding three international SyrCOM
conferences on Syriac computing.

Currently, we are working hard to bring you The Syriac
Digital Library which will be the largest library of Syriac
material in the world, accessible on the Internet. We are also
busy producing the first encyclopedia that is totally dedicated
to the Syriac heritage. All these activities require your
support.
