Our organization is powered by volunteers.<\/p>\n We also have Subscribing Donors<\/strong> for our Bulletin ShelfLife<\/em><\/a><\/strong> and Sponsors & Benefactors<\/strong> who donate funding for the publication of the Bulletin and for other aspects of our work.

The contributions, more than once, demonstrate a dedication to our mission and activities merit attention and commendation.\u00a0 These contributions are recorded for our Events<\/a>, Activities at the Annual International Congress on Medieval Studies<\/a>, Publications<\/a>, Blogs<\/a>, and in our website as a whole.<\/p>\n Here we list, with heartfelt thanks, our Contributors and Donors<\/strong> in funding and in kind.<\/p>\n At the end, a section In Memoriam<\/strong> lists those who have departed this earth.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dr. Mildred Budny Dr. Adelaide Bennett Dr. Mildred Budny Prof. Emeritus Raymond J.
