August 2009

Dear friends and colleagues,

We had another month of great contributions from you, members and friends. Thanks to all those who have commented, added photographs, discussed a point of view, presented at words@bld50 and posted links or articles. We have received news and contributions from and about: Rwanda, Prishtina, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Palestine, Chile, Australia, the US, Tunisia, Bangladesh among other cities and places from around the world. It is contributions such as these—of work that matters to the wider society—that makes arch-peace a great organisation and encourage us (volunteers) to continue.

Thanks also to our Iranian colleagues who responded to our note of support, we hope with you for brighter days.

Note that all our words’ presentations are now available on video here.

Anything that we do here in Melbourne can be replicated anywhere else. If you are interested in doing similar work in your city or offered to coordinate work in your city/country, please follow these steps: http://archpeace-notes.blogspot.com/2008/11/region-country-representatives.html

We have had some problems with our email service and some emails and some responses are being delayed. Please be patient.

Best regards,

Beatriz C. Maturana (President) and the Architects for Peace team.

Membership fees due

As of July 2009, Architects for Peace has changed the date upon which membership fees fall due. From this year onwards fees for all renewing members must be paid annually in July. If you haven't paid your membership in the last 12 months now is the time to pay!
In recognition of this policy change, the Committee of Management has agreed that all members who are financially current as of 30 June this year will be granted full financial membership for 2009/10.
Any new member who joins Arch-Peace in the period from 1 January to 30 June each year may request a pro-rata membership fee by writing to the Treasurer. The committee notes that in comparison to other organisations our membership fees are quite modest and have not been raised for several years.
We encourage all members to renew their membership this July and pay the appropriate membership fee via the link on the Arch-Peace website. Fees are only required for members from OECD countries (listed below). For students the fee is AU$15, members AU$35 and business members AU$190. There is no fee required for affiliated members from non-OECD countries.
Many thanks for your ongoing support.

OECD countries currently include: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States of America.
