Formalitäten

Es gibt drei erfreuliche Neuigkeiten zu vermelden:

1. JHVA wurde am 17.12.2006 in Augsburg informell begründet und hat inzwischen bereits 11 Mitglieder.

2. Es gibt nun eine postalische Anschrift, nämlich

JHVA, Postfach 11 10 21 - 86035 Augsburg.

3. JVA verfügt nun über ein eigenes Bank- und Spendenkonto: Die Nummer lautet

Damit haben wir eine gute Grundlage für die weitere Arbeit im eben beginnenden Jahr 2007.
