Annual Appeal for the CWRT of Eastern PA
Dear members and supporters of the Civil War Round Table of Eastern PA, Inc,
On this link, please find a letter of appeal for your support of our organization. As you all are most likely aware, the cost of "doing business" of any organization or business always seems to rise, not fall as time passes. This is true for our CWRT as well. Venue costs go up as food and staff costs increase; speaker costs rise as we do provide accommodations as needed as well as provide travel reimbursement. Our goal is always to support historic preservation and educational initiatives with whatever money we retain over expenses. None of our Officers and Board members receive payment other than occasional reimbursement for out of pocket expenses. Most of them donate more than time and energy and do it freely and passionately.
It is not or intent or desire to increase our dues or dinner costs as we wish to encourage membership and we wish to keep our dinner cost affordable. We feel strongly that our members and friends receive excellent value for both items.
We do need your help however. We realize that all of us receive pleas, especially at this time of the year, and we also realize that there are more good causes than any of us as individuals can possibly support.
This plea is definitely a soft sell as we do not wish any of you to feel that there is pressure to make any sort of a donation at this time. It is strictly up to each of you to decide if this is something you wish to do and have the resources to do.
Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated. Donations may be tax-deductible as the CWRT is a 501(C)3 -non-profit corporation.
Sincerely,
Edwin Root and the Officers and Directors of the CWRT of Eastern PA, Inc
