Hi there,
If I remember correctly, SAC Lahore decided in its last meeting before the Long March to remove all donation-related links and information from its blog. I'm pretty sure that this was also mentioned in the relevant meeting minutes sent out on the sac*@*lists.harvard.edu mailing lists.
Yet today, July 16, 2008, more than a month after the Long March, I still find the link on the blog.
Would someone please clarify?
Aman
Lahore
