Week One
Dear Friends, Family, Colleagues, Students and Kind strangers
We are overwhelmed at the positive response from the first week of our campaign. Thanks to all that donated and to those who have helped spread the word.
But we're not there yet - three weeks still to go for us to meet our goal.

End of our Second Week!
Dear Friends, Family, Colleagues, Students and Supporters
Over the past two weeks the responses and support we've received have been overwhelming and so very appreciated. I'm pleased (and a bit stunned) to be able to report that we hit the 50% mark this morning! While this means we are still only half way there, it is a major milestone and a success that we wish to share with all of you.
Thank you again and again!
Chris, Lizzy and Courtney
Progress is already being made
Dear friends and supporters,
We have not been idle!
Our team of very talented computer science collaborators (a student group at BU) have already helped develop an early, simple, but functional app for the iphone. We have uploaded their video describing their progress - and it's pretty impressive, especially given how quickly they have had to work on this.
This is very exciting to see our ideas bear fruit, but there is much much more to be done. If you have not contributed but were thinking you'd like to, please consider supporting our project.
And if you have already contributed, please consider forwarding news of Project SEARCH on to your network of family, friends and colleagues!
All our best from the Project SEARCH Team.

For those who may have missed it last week:
Am reposting an improved version of the BU Comp/Sci wizard's demonstration of the first beta-beta test version of the app. Please check it out.

Four Days To Go
Dear friends, family, colleagues, and supporters
It is astounding and deeply humbling to see how many of you have joined as partners in this work. We are so, so close to hitting the target now. If you have donated - we thank you most sincerely and ask please to spread the word about our project to your networks, to anyone that you think would find this kind of work to be worthy of their support.
If you haven't donated, but are thinking about it, this would be a great time.
All our best from the Project SEARCH team
