Winning new contributors key to
success of Party-Building Fund
 
BY TONY LANE  
Payments received this week of $10,229 bring the total collected for the SWP Party-Building Fund to $65,814. With conscious and regular attention in each area, we are in a good position to bring the $100,000 fund to a successful completion over the next three weeks.

San Francisco raised its quota to $14,000 and is just four shy of their goal of winning 30 new contributors. Twenty-one of those who have given to the Socialist Workers Party for the first time learned about the fund after buying a Militant subscription from communist workers who knocked on their door, reports Carole Lesnick. “One worker, whose family is from China, offered a $5 bill for a single copy of the paper,” said Lesnick. “When I said, ‘We’ll put the extra $4 to the cause,’ she responded. ‘Let me give you this,’ and handed me a $20 bill for the party fund.”

New York has received donations from 47 first-time contributors out of a goal of 50, reports Candace Wagner. Gaining these new contributors is an invaluable part of winning the pledges necessary for local areas to top their quotas.

Militant readers and supporters can send fund contributions to the SWP office nearest you (see directory on page 8) or directly to the SWP National Office at 306 W. 37th St., 10th floor, New York, NY 10018.

Payments received in the SWP National Office by Monday are counted for that week’s scoreboard. A final chart will include all payments received by Dec. 23.
