We are very pleased to report the status of our "Chief John Memorial MGA Restoration" (CJM) as follows:

We have agreed to buy the MGA from Chief Hugh and will pick it up from Dunvegan Castle in the time frame August 1 - 4.

CMSG invites ACMS and all other National Societies to involve themselves

in funding the purchase, transport and restoration by subscribing to CJM shares

as illustrated.

The share certificates were designed by our member Edith McLeod and a friend of hers, Erwin Holldorf, an artist who created the beautiful painting of Dunvegan Castle. CMSG is issuing 150 shares valued at Euro 100 each, thus hopefully collecting Euro 15,000 to cover the estimated expense.

 The share certificate measures about 20 x 30 cm and is suitable for framing. Restoration of Chief John's beautiful car will be able to progress as share proceeds allow. Ideally, we'll complete the work by Parliament 2010, driving the car to Dunvegan for all share holders to drive!

We ask ACMS to kindly communicate our share offer at the North American Gathering, hopefully collecting enough money to finance at least the initial expense of buying and transporting the car (approx. Euro 5,000 or US$
7,500). We have vouched personally for the purchase price vis-à-vis Chief Hugh, should this target not be met by late July.

 Those wishing to purchase CJM shares should make payment as follows:

stipulating name, address, telephone number and number of shares, please transfer funds in EURO (a multiple of Euro 100) to the following special CMSG savings account, dedicated solely to this project:

CMGD e. V. (CMS Germany - CJM project)
IBAN: DE 86130500003000947751
Via SWIFT: NOLADE2H
BIC: NOLADE21 ROS

For each transfer received, CMSG will register owner and number of shares, draw up and sign the share certificate and send it to the address specified. We would be extremely pleased if this project were to become an international effort with contributions from all National Societies!
