Dear Alumni,
Since the Peking University Education Foundation (USA)'s call for donation for
the Anti-SARS Special Fund Raising for Beida Hospitals, PUAASC and BUMAASC
joined the other 10 Peking University Alumni Associations in the US to promote
this charitable activity. We are glad to announce that we have so far received
donations from 20 alumni/families with a total of $3,330.00 (see donors list
below). According to PKUEF (USA)'s request, the donation checks we collected
will be sent to the office of PKUEF (USA) on Monday, May 26. We will expect to
receive donation receipts and appreciation letters from PKUEF (USA) upon their
reception of the checks and we will forward to individual donors shortly after.
If you would like to make more donations, please do it within this month and
send your check directly to PKUEF (USA) (see
http://www.pkuf.org/Contactus.htm).
PKUEF (USA) has already delivered medical suits and compensation for the
front-line medical staff to Peking University Medical School and six hospitals
affiliated with PKU administration. The medical staff have expressed their
satisfaction and appreciation. Please see the interim summary report from PKUEF
(USA) below for details.
PUAASC thanks all alumni and families who participated in this fund raising and
also thanks for those who participated in similar activities organized by other
organizations. We are happy to see that SARS is apparently under control in
China and we expect Peking University will resume all of its normal educational
activities in the near future.
PUAASC will also plan to resume alumni activities in the near future. We are
planning the second Beida, Tsinghua, Jiao Da alumni gathering in Irvine on June
28. Three Beida alumni in Irvine James Wang, Zhi-An Lai, and Yunhong Liu are
representing PUAASC in planning and preparation. We expect this event will be
well-organized and provide our alumni networking opportunity and fun
activities. Details of the event will be announced shortly.
Best wishes,
PUAASC

Dear Fellow Alumni:
On May 1st 2003, PKUEF (USA) started Peking University Anti-SARS Special Fund

especially those working at PKU affiliated hospitals who are at the forefront
of SARS-fighting efforts. The Initiative has received support from 12 alumni

Fight SARS Fund by PKUEF (USA) is $14283.00 (88 donations); We believe that
more money are still coming. Our goal is to raise $20,000.00 by the end of May.
We need more support from you to make it happen!
In order to utilize the SARS-fighting donation in the most effective and
efficient manner, and to convey our concerns and support, we have made the
following arrangement:
1) 1000 sets of Anti-SARS medical suits with total cost of $1,988, delivered to
PKU medical school on May 9th.

affiliated hospitals by PKU administration.
3) Detailed compensation distribution report, to be provided by PKU
administration.
4) Fund utilization report, to be sent to all donors with appreciation.
We indeed appreciate your warm-hearted support, and believe that our
transparent process and effective operation will build our long-term trusting
relationship. Let us stand together and wish China? and Peking University?
success in fighting SARS.
Sincerely yours,
Peking University Education Foundation (USA)
