The license plates not only help to raise awareness about Tibet but also raise funds for Tibetan communities in Virginia. We expect the license plates to bring in about $30,000 in revenue every year. Bill will be happy to help Tibetan groups in other states develop Friends of Tibet license plate initiatives, but some states do not have group license plate programs. In those states first you must push for legislation to enact the program, something that may be easier today since states are looking for every source of revenue that they can find. For more information about the Friends of Tibet license plate you can reach us at info@tibetanculture.org, or come visit us October 10 at American University in Washington, DC, where we are sponsoring a teaching by His Holiness (<a href="http://www.dalailamadc09.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.dalailamadc09.com</a>).

Personalized to read "JULY SIX," the Dalai Lama's birthdate. It isn't a vanity plate; it's a statement plate. I just ordered these plates last week.
