PREOFITS FROM 'PATCHWORK' TO MARGARET MCNAMARA MEMORIAL FUND

The proceeds from the sales of Patchwork will be donated to the Margaret McNamara Memorial Fund (MMMF), a non-profit 501 (c) 3 charity affiliated with the World Bank Family Network. The Fund awards educational grants to women from developing countries engaged in graduate studies in the United States or Canada. The recipients must demonstrate a commitment to work for the benefit of women and children in the developing world. Since 1983, the Margaret McNamara Memorial Fund has awarded more than one hundred grants totaling over $800,000 to women from fifty-one countries. This achievement rests on the shoulders of dedicated volunteers, numbering in the hundreds. MMMF was founded in 1981 to honor the late Margaret Craig McNamara, wife of Robert S. McNamara, president of the World Bank from 1968 to1981. For more information, visit MMMF on the World Bank Family Network’s web site www.wbfn.org

An admirer's acknowledgment
It is a pleasure to find this rare mix of intelligence and imagination--especially in a group of professionals motivated by goals of personal achievement and pro bono benefits to others. I salute the seven successful writers.?
