wfn.org | World Fellowship of Buddhists Celebrate 50th Anniversary

[George Conklin <gconklin@igc.apc.org>]

Lance, Works fine.  I've added the essential Title: line to the top of the 
release (WFN uses it to create a headline and search report) using your 
head.  You will see it appear in the data base tomorrow (Tuesday) 
California time.  It has already gone out to hundreds of subscribers to the 
WFN-NEWS mailing list which we know includes staff of RNS in Washington and 
the religion editor of an international secular press service.

Thanks for your role in increasing the breadth of WFN news archives.  Keep 
the email coming.
