HELP Â鶹ֱ²¥ QUALIFY FOR A $33,000 CHALLENGE GIFT
A Letter from Â鶹ֱ²¥â€™s Development Chair, Ed Wright
Dear Friends,
I hope this note finds you in good health and cheer we all prepare for the duties and joys of the summer season. For most of us that will mean refreshing ourselves by spending more time with family and friends, enjoying the outdoors, or traveling to familiar or new places. Many of us will be participating in one of the many Â鶹ֱ²¥-affiliated digs. I hope that this summer you enjoy in special ways whatever it is that inspires you most.
Before we all head off to our favorite summer activities, however, I want to bring an important opportunity to your attention. Our Strategic Plan clearly states that Â鶹ֱ²¥ is here to serve you, and our Board of Trustees is enthusiastically dedicated to fulfilling that commitment. To do so we rely on the financial support of our members. We are approaching the end of our fiscal year, and I write today to ask you to make a donation to Â鶹ֱ²¥. I have stated that I would like to see 100% of Â鶹ֱ²¥ members become Â鶹ֱ²¥ donors. That is admittedly a very high goal for a society like Â鶹ֱ²¥, but I am convinced that we can reach it. For the short term, however, the Board has approved a bold challenge. If we can add one-hundred new donors before the end of our fiscal year, our Board (and a few other friends) has generously pledged to give an additional $33,000 to Â鶹ֱ²¥â€™s Annual Fund. This additional $33,000 will ensure that Â鶹ֱ²¥ once again has a balanced budget so that we can continue to carry out our mission.
Friends, this is a great opportunity, and I know that we can rise to the challenge. Your gift of $10 or more to any Â鶹ֱ²¥ fund between now and June 15th will help us qualify for our Board’s $33,000 challenge gift. Your gift will have a direct and measureable impact on your Â鶹ֱ²¥ colleagues, and their gifts could potentially have a direct impact on you. We are in this together, and I ask you to join approximately 270 of your Â鶹ֱ²¥ colleagues who have already made a donation to Â鶹ֱ²¥ this year. I hope that we can count on you both to move toward the 100%-member participation goal and to meet our Board’s generous challenge. You can make your gift by clicking on the link on this webpage or by sending a check to the Â鶹ֱ²¥ office by June 15th.
With my warm regards and best wishes for a refreshing and enjoyable summer season,
Ed Wright
