Dear Colleagues,

We are making a proposal to the United States Postal Service for the production of a stamp honoring

Claude Elwood Shannon on the 100th anniversary of his birth.

The proposal is available at:

http://www.itsoc.org/about/shannons-centenary-us-postal-stamp/

Please add your endorsement on that page, and then spread the word!

We would love to have the endorsements of your friends, colleagues, department chair, dean, university president, CEO, government representatives, school-aged children, and the public at large.

[Contact information for endorsing individuals will not be posted.]

Thanks for your support!

Best,

Michelle Effros

P.S.  We will include individual letters for a few high-ranking individuals.  If you would like to arrange the inclusion of such a letter for one or more of your contacts, please contact me with the details.
