<strong>report</strong><br />
Over the last twelve months, we at <strong>PEN</strong> have been rem<strong>in</strong>ded<br />
that membership is an essential means of support for the<br />
organization. While the world economy appears to be tick<strong>in</strong>g<br />
aga<strong>in</strong>, f<strong>in</strong>ancial support for non-profit organizations like ours<br />
is never as abundant as we would like. For the second year <strong>in</strong> a<br />
row, we’ve seen that organizations like <strong>PEN</strong> — especially <strong>PEN</strong><br />
— can’t cont<strong>in</strong>ue to exist without the strong foundation that<br />
our members offer us. And it is precisely this longstand<strong>in</strong>g<br />
community, with a commitment to freedom of expression, that<br />
allows <strong>PEN</strong> to cont<strong>in</strong>ue its work.<br />
