Hello,

Any help in getting this information about our upcoming program
circulated -- via E-Mail networks, lists, bulletins or publications --
would be GREATLY appreciated. We hope to reach as broad a base of
potentially interested persons as possible.

What's new this year is that information & applications are now obtainable
ON-LINE at the E-Mail addresses, below -- as well as by writing, phoning or
faxing our office.

Planned projects will run the gamut (see the list below). The opportunity
to make a meaningful contribution is greater than ever.

*Participants* and *Project Directors/Leaders* will come from far and
wide, representing several countries. Students, professionals, and persons
of goodwill are welcome to apply.

We are proud that over 500 universities & colleges and over 10,000 persons
have participated in Crossroads over the years.

We're looking forward to great programs in Africa and Brazil, as we help to
usher in the 21st Century.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Kind regards,

Rachel & Cecil
Crossroads Alumni
