Convention Postponed and Rescheduled The IRTA Global Executive Committee has decided to postpone the IRTA Convention, scheduled for September 19-23 in Denver. The loss experienced by IRTA's Hall of Fame honoree, Allan Hackel, in conjunction with the enormous magnitude of the recent terrorist attack, precludes that the 2001 Barter Congress be held at a later date...November 8-11...same venue. NATE Regional Convention Canceled The
National Association of Trade Exchanges (NATE) has canceled
the upcoming regional convention, "Barter By The
Lake," which was scheduled in Akron, Ohio, October
4-6. John Sobolewski, Executive Director, says the focus
will now be on the National Convention in New Orleans,
May 16-18, 2002. NATE Opens Fund A
fund has been established by NATE for victims of September
11th's atrocity, with a goal to raise $50,000 worth of
trade dollars, which will go to any association member
who has clients, friends, or family affected by the tragedy.
NATE's office is (440) 835-3654. United We Stand Logan
Darrow, Executive Producer of FreeNation TV, says Americans
should all buy 100 shares of stock (in American companies)
to show the anti-capitalism terrorists that their attack
failed to destroy America. Here And There. . . The following are excerpts from e-mails received from trade exchanges and barter companies around the world: We woke this morning to see the most horrific images of what has happened in your country, we are truly shocked at the severity of this ghastly attack on innocent human beings. I wanted you to know that all staff at Trade Limited and all Australians thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of tragedy. Regards, I hope and pray we do not have any of our friends lost. I want to hear you are okay. Sincerely, We are all shocked about the unbelievable act of terror, and I have lost also three friends in one of the hijacked airplanes which has hit the World Trade Center. The terrorism of a small group has become another stage and direction. The world must work more efficiently against those fanatic people.

Our prayers are with all of them and the people in America. Reiner Husemann,
