The William Mulloy Research Library, a project of the Easter Island Foundation, is intended as a memorial to the late Bill Mulloy, whose archaeological and restoration work on Easter Island is internationally known. The Library's goals are to construct an appropriate buildling to house the Mulloy Collection, to appoint qualified staff and to establish an endowment to ensure its ongoing operations. Already substantially supported by the World Monuments Fund, the Library is seeking further contributions to complete the building, and to begin operation. Contributions made payable to the “Easter Island Foundation” should be sent to Dr Joan T. Seaver, Box 1319, Pacific Palisades, CA 90272, USA, or Dr William Liller, Casilla 437, Vina del Mar, Chile.

Because of mounting concerns from Overseas Members regarding the high fees charged by banks for bank drafts in a foreign currency, the Society has decided to accept personal/bank cheques in certain overseas currencies. Cheques must be in that country's own currency and drawn on a bank in that same country. We will now accept cheques in:

• Australian dollars
• Canadian dollars
• German deutsch marks
• Nederland gilders
• Hong Kong dollars
• Singapore dollars
• U.S. dollars
• British sterling
• Swiss francs.

Our bank will not accept cheques in Japanese yen or Spanish currency.

The amount of the cheques should be calculated at the current exchange rate on the day of payment. A small amount should be added to help us meet our bank charges incurred when converting the cheques to New Zealand dollars.
