The City of Sydney Council meets tonight, so there's still time to email or call (details below) and congratulate them on their support of the Dictionary of Sydney thusfar, and to urge them to release the full set of funds voted in 2011 so that the valuable work of the Dictionary can continue. Releasing part of the money as proposed by the City this week only puts off the inevitable and will only allow the Dictionary to continue operating until October. The Dictionary of Sydney Trust seeks the City's support of its short-term financial sustainability for the next twelve months and for the following two years in order to give it the stability and the space to work consistently on developing new partnerships that will support its long-term sustainability. The Dictionary of Sydney team would like to thank everybody who has already contacted the Council and those who have sent us messages of encouragement and support. It is great to know the Dictionary is so widely and warmly regarded.
