F.A.R.M.S. SAYS "THANKS!" TO 169 SUBSTANTIAL DONORS

In recent months and years, 169 individuals and foundations have given generously to F.A.R.M.S. Below are listed the names of these people, to whom we owe a deep debt of gratitude. Each has given $100 or more; several have given in the thousands. We hope we have not overlooked anyone on this list, but if we have, we apologize and thank them just as much, too.

We know that many of these good people have made considerable sacrifices to lend their support to Book of Mormon research and distribution. The personal letters we have received are great testimonies of the interest, enthusiasm and dedication that these people share with respect to this marvelous scripture. Because we know that each dollar contributed is not given lightly, we have worked very hard to make each dollar go as far as possible. Volunteered servicecs match donated dollars, and our budget is kept to the basic essentials. We pledge to keep it that way in the future.

The contributions of these people have made it possible for F.A.R.M.S. to exist. This money has financed the printing of our 1986-87 Catalog and the preparation of numerous new Preliminary Reports and Reprints. These donations have funded research on Book of Mormon word studies, textual analysis, and finding answers to Book of Mormon questions. They have paid for research and secretarial assistants who have nearly completed three major computerized bibliographies, one on the Book of Mormon, one on chiasmus in recent Biblical commentary, and another on temples and temple rituals in antiquity. They have likewise funded the costs of preparing individual volumes of the Nibley collected works. This money has covered general overhead to make it possible for thousands of copies of the Book of Mormon-related articles to be distributed worldwide at break-even prices to people and libraries who want to know more about the book.

Without these donations, along with thousands of smaller contributions, F.A.R.M.S. would simply not be able to do what it does. We say "thanks" sincerely, and hope you all know how much we appreciate every dollar of support you so generously give.
