IF YOU ARE AN
ACTIVE DONOR PLEASE READ: Many of you have been donors for years. We greatly and
sincerely appreciate your commitment to the project. We are writing to urge you
to convert to monthly donors. In many cases you are already giving that much as
it is. This will get you over to the no-fundraising list and allow us to focus
our efforts on making the case to those not so accustomed to donating. If you
have special needs or concerns hit our contact page and let us know what you
need. We will do everything we can to accommodate you. Again our thanks. / Marc
