+Dear Free Software Supporter,
+
+Tomorrow we mark the end of our year long celebration of the 25th anniversary 
of the GNU project, a celebration that we kicked off in September 2008 with a 
wonderful video from author and comedian Stephen Fry http://www.gnu.org/fry/. 
+
+Today, we also celebrate the fact that we have passed 25,000 subscribers to 
our monthly newsletter, the Free Software Supporter, and that we count over 
3,200 individuals who have joined the FSF as Associate Members - the 
individuals who fund all our work. 
+
+    * Becoming an associate member
+    * Giving a gift membership to a friend
+    * Or referring a friend to join - and receive recognition
+
+I am proud that the Free Software Foundation has such a dedicated membership, 
who every day voice their support for our mission and advocate for a free 
society.
+
+The Free Software Movement has had an excellent year, and awareness of the 
ethical importance of free software is growing.  With your support the FSF will 
continue to build capacity as an organization to communicate, work with, and 
meet the needs of the free software community. 
+h
+Sincerely,
+
