New 'Mayor' of Israel and Middle East Forum
Veteran LongeCity member Dr.Ilia Stambler has taken the helm of the 'Israel and Middle East' Forum under the new Adopt a Forum Scheme. A challenging post for a volatile part of the world where death still holds too much sway. Ilia's particular hope is to encourage contributions from those parts of the region where little or no activism and content creation about life-extension existed. Among other activities, he hopes to encourage local events in Egypt and Iran and/or Kazakhstan. And this ties in with:
Fundraiser: Local Meetings
This dedicated fundraiser- also overseen by Ilia- has been established to support local meetings during for the International Longevity Day and beyond.

Fundraiser: Rewards for Posting
One way of getting "₮hank You Points" (or losing them) used to be when someone 'liked' your post. Since the advent of nuanced post feedback this link has been broken. This fundraiser is to re-establish it in a regime where different types of likes/dislikes bring different amount of points. We aim to hire IT help to achieve this.
