The organization does have a website:
http://www.greaterwisfund.com/

While I may agree with most of their philosophy and aims, I greatly resent the invasive and annoying tactic of this recent mailer. I don't much enjoy having my name and address included in a piece sent to the world at large.

They dropped the ball on this one and should reconsider. There is a place, noted on the mailer, to respond -"if you feel it to be in error." I intend to voice my discontent - and include a link to this thread.
