IF YOU'VE BEEN PROCRASTINATING ABOUT SIGNING UP FOR CRYONIC SUSPENSION COVERAGE WITH ALCOR, YOU NOW HAVE ANOTHER GOOD REASON TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION! Minimum funding requirements for cryonic suspension will be 20% greater for persons who have not begun the sign-up process by December 31st. Our current minimums are $100,000 whole body and $35,000 neurosuspension. The new minimums will be $120,000 and $41,000. (Of course, these numbers are just minimums; we encourage suspension members to provide as much additional funding as they can. How do you start the sign up-process? Easy: send us your sign-up fee of $300 postmarked by December 31st, 1990. The sign-up fee for additional family members is $150, or $75 for minors (members under 18 years old). The student sign-up fee is $150. If you need to make arrangements to pay your sign-up fee over time, call Carlos Mondragon at Alcor, (800) 367-2228.
LAST CHANCE TO HELP ALCOR BEFORE TAX TIME You have a choice. You can send your dollars to support space telescopes that can't see, space shuttles that don't fly, art that isn't, and welfare programs that do anything but promote welfare. . . OR you can send them our way. Granted, we've made our share of mistakes too! But we think you'd agree we've made fewer of them, and we sure hope you'd agree that we accomplished a lot more than the bureaucrats. And we know you agree that if we succeed you stand to benefit a lot more than you do from the government getting your tax dollars. Alcor offers very high quality services for the dollar. The reason for that is in no small measure due to voluntary giving. This magazine, our fine suspension capability, and our past track history of research (which is now slowly resuming) are all evidence of what we can do when we get the support we need. And if ever we need your support, the time is now. The enormous burden of litigation costs associated with fighting for all our rights to cryonics (including the very right to be suspended (Alcor v. Mitchell)) has been borne by Alcor and Alcor alone. We need your help. As the year draws to a close, this is your last opportunity to take a bite out of the tax man's bill. Won't you consider giving your dollars to us instead of the taxman? Membership dues pay less than 25% of our operating costs. The balance is made up by donations and endowments. So please, don't make the mistake of thinking that the amount you give won't make a difference. And of course, donations to Alcor are tax-deductible.
