Three weeks ago, we asked for donations to cover the cost of our upcoming AGM (Annual General Meeting) from 19th-21st October in Austria.  Thanks to a number of very generous supporters, we are now halfway to the goal!  EFVV receives no subsidies or sponsorship of any kind and has existed for 20 years on membership fees and donations alone.  We would be so grateful if more supporters were to donate through the ‘Donate’ button on our website (http://www.efvv.eu) enabling us to cover the meeting room, the moderator, the ceremony room for the EFVV award-giving ceremony and especially, financial assistance to delegates unable to attend otherwise.  We are proud to have representatives attending from 16 European countries and members or contacts in 27 European countries.  We look forward to a very productive meeting.

Also, if you haven’t yet sent our ‘Open Letter to the WHO’ to your MEPs, we would again be most grateful if you could do so, simply informing them of the letter and asking them to read it.  Here is a link to the letter in English: https://www.efvv.eu/open-letter-to-the-who-from-international-organisations/.  It has been translated into 11 languages (French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Croatian, Russian, Italian, Norwegian and Greek), so for those in these countries, choose your respective language from our website.  The email addresses of your MEPs can be found online.

With deep appreciation and gratitude for your generosity, support and assistance with our work,

The Board of EFVV
