CHICAGO - With four weeks to go on the national fund drive, Young Socialists chapters around the country are mapping out plans to raise the remainder of a national goal of $4,200.

Diana Newberry from Morgantown, West Virginia, reports that the YS there held a party to raise funds for the drive. "Thirty-one dollars was raised towards the $300 local goal, with plenty of supplies left over for the next YS fund- raising event on June 7," she explained. They are also holding a raffle that will go until the end of the drive.

In Newark, New Jersey, YS members are organizing a "benefit slam" for the weekend of June 8 at the Pathfinder bookstore in that city. This event will include a speaker from the Young Socialists, poetry, and music. A mailing has gone out to over 50 people. David Berg, organizer of the Newark chapter, reports YS members in that city have started paying their pledges.

In Washington, D.C., $65 was raised at a fund-raising dinner on May 10 before a Militant Labor Forum where Sam Manuel spoke on behalf of the Socialist Workers election campaign. The chapter plans to hold another fund-raising dinner and a party in the next two weeks.

As of June 1, chapters have sent in $357 towards the goal. In order to stay on target $960 need to be sent every week to the National Office.
