<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri;">I'm happy to bring you wonderful news: the International Virginia Woolf Society is now a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization, effective retroactively to February 1, 2017! This
means that membership dues and donations to the IVWS are now tax-deductible for U.S. tax payers. I'd like to extend sincere thanks and gratitude to our Treasurer Alice Keane, IVWS member extraordinaire Elisa Kay Sparks, and Financial Planner Kenneth Wilkinson
for their hard and diligent work to make this happen. The IVWS Web site and membership form will soon note this new status. <o:p></o:p></p>
