Zantop Travel Endowment Fundraising a Success!

It is our great pleasure to announce that, as of December 31, 2010, we have met and in fact surpassed our fundraising goal for the Zantop Travel Endowment. 

Since September, we have collected $6,900 in donations to the Zantop fund.

That brings us to $26,900 collected since the fundraiser began in 2008.

Contributions are still coming in, so the final total will be somewhat higher.  We will publish an update in due time.  Meanwhile, let’s congratulate ourselves on this achievement – which is all the more gratifying because it happened prior to the ten-year anniversary of the tragic event that took Susanne and Half Zantop from us.

Thank you to everyone who contributed during the three-year fundraising period to make the Zantop Travel Endowment Campaign a success!   -- Is Women in German a great organization or what?!

Happy New Year!
