The UC Postharvest Program Endowment The UC Postharvest Program Endowment Fund was established in 1989 to support teaching, extension, and research activities related to postharvest biology and technology of fruit, ornamental, and vegetable crops. The interest on this endowment is currently used to support the maintenance of our website (http://postharvest.ucdavis.edu) as the best source of information about postharvest biology and technology of horticultural perishables. This website has become increasingly popular, now receiving an average of more than 230,000 page visits per month from users like you. Continued development and free access to this website depend on the availability of funds from this endowment. The current balance is almost $450,000 and the ambitious goal of our 2008 "30th Anniversary fund-raising campaign" is to reach $550,000 by December 31, 2008. We would greatly appreciate your assistance in achieving our goal by sending your contribution and by encouraging your organization to make a contribution. If you have any questions about the Postharvest Endowment, please call me at (530) 754-9270 or contact me by e-mail (jrgorny@ucdavis.edu). Thank you. Sincerely, James R. Gorny
