> URGENT!!!!!!!! Your help is needed right now
>
> Dear friends and colleagues,
>
> sorry to bother you with an email on behalf of the Botanical Garden of the
> University of Bern, where I am the managing director since this summer.
>
> In the course of budget reductions of our local government of the canton
of
> Bern, we will get a budget cut of 50%, this means ca. 500'000 Francs.
>
> A local newspaper (BERNER ZEITUNG) is actually for to-day organising a
poll
> by phone +41 (0)31 330 38 38 or by email leserbriefe-bz@btm.ch, which is a
> surprise to us.
>
> I urge those who are concerned to place a vote in favour of the Botanical
> Garden. See the homepage and you will notice, that the garden is very much
> alive and needs to get funds from outside (another 500'000 Fr.)
>
> I APOLOGIZE TO ALL, WHO MIGHT BE SURPRISED TO GET AN EMAIL on behalf of
the
> garden, who might not know about the garden and who even not know me as a
> person, but there is no time to filter away all not so closely related
> addresses.
>
> I would appreciate highly, if you could send a positive message on behalf
> of the Botanical Garden
> to leserbriefe-bz@btm.ch still to-day, and if this is not possible, in the
> days to come.
>
> THANKS A LOT!!
