====== From the Seki (LI77) ======

Issue 77 of our Legalize it! is already the second offset number. I am glad that we have changed over. With the former in-house printing, I simply would not have been able to get through the last months: so many interested people... So we can welcome many **new members** here!

The number of supporters is about 600, the highest ever, and we seem to be **growing**. We have also doubled the size of our board, which has given us a lot more impetus.

After more than 20 years as secretary of our association, I have already experienced some phases. Now my **50th month** with a 60% position is already behind me - by far the longest such phase. 

Sure, finances are tight, only thanks to the **large donation letter of** April 2017 I could continue to work sensibly. More than 6,000 francs came in on it. A very important amount! Now we make it through the summer, if all remembered renew their membership. Merci!

We have put several media reports back in our **info folders** and have written to all of them. You are welcome to view them at the membership meetings.

In July I will take a few days of vacation, but we also have to take care of the infrastructure (hardware, updates, wiki and the office in general). Please see the info about the summer break in the right column below.

Now I wish you a nice summer and hope that we will find the resources to make hemp **legal again in** Switzerland.
