In our last editions of Bits 'N' Pieces - we acknowledged those who contributed to efforts to keep the National Alliance of Families going. In acknowledging contributors, you run the risk of forgetting someone and we did. At this time, we would like to acknowledge, those omitted and those who have recently contributed.
Thanks to the following Santa's - Jack & Gloria Adkinson, Ernest R. Adler, Frank G. Anton, Beverly A. Haire, Help Free POW's MIA's Now (Daniel & Debra Stock), Lima Area MIA-POW (Jack & Wilma Laeufer,) Michael H.

Additionally, the family of Mary Hall requested in lieu of flowers that contributions be made the the National Alliance of Families. We thank the following for their contributions in Mary's memory - The Castle Family, Lois M. Coffey, Ann Holland, Tom & Cathy Humphries, Jan & Dennis Phillips and Lt. Col. Tom Mc Kenny.
Thanks to your support, we were able to retire our 1998 debt of $6,000. 00+. We enter 1999 broke but not in debt. We believe the wonderful support we received in 1998, we will continue in 1999.
Therefore, we will commit to a National Alliance of Families Forum in 1999. Our Tenth Annual Forum is scheduled for June 17th - 19th, at the Sheraton Center City Hotel (same as last year.) We will have reservation information, in an upcoming edition of Bits 'N' Pieces.
We must tell you, we had serious doubt about our ability to finance a Forum this year. We thank you all for your support.
Remember - contributions are still needed to keep the Alliance going. Donations may be mailed to:
