Special Announcement

We are pleased to announce that the Buffalo Free-Net is the recipient of two significant grants of financial support.

The School of Information and Library Studies at the University at Buffalo has generously underwritten a portion of the cost of our dial-in telephone lines, assuring the community, along with your continuing individual donation support, of dial-in access for the next year.

Subscribers to the Buffalo Free-Net (BFN) will be able to access their e-mail a little easier and faster now thanks to a $2000 Special Member Item Grant from Assemblyman Sam Hoyt.

With this funding the BFN will be able to upgrade their mail server and begin to provide WEB-based logins to e-mail. Western New Yorkers who do not own a computer can still have e-mail accounts by going to the public library, sitting at a computer and with one or two mouse clicks connect to their e-mail. Non-profit organizations can have free space on BFN's server for their web sites.

Assemblyman Hoyt said, "I recognize the importance of this great service to the community for accessing information. Upgrading this service enables Western New Yorkers, regardless of their socio-economic status, to access e-mail accounts and the Internet."

Dr. Neil Yerkey, President of the BFN accepted the grant and said, "This upgrade will allow people to access e-mail without having to dial into the BFN first." The BFN is staffed by volunteers and funded by community, corporate and individual donations.

The Western New York Library Resources Council in partnership with the State University of New York at Buffalo co-founded the Buffalo Free-Net in 1993 in order to offer free access to the Internet and serve as a WEB host to non-profit organizations. BFN's website is at www.bfn.org.

Tax deductible donations can be sent
