To our Dear Friends Far and Near:

Again we have arrived at the end of the year when annually, we send a message of greeting and of special significance to our friends.

Besides wishing you hearty and best of good health and well being for the coming year, I'd like to give a progress report on the "Du Sable Museum." Yes, we are very busy trying to do all the things necessary to make the transition of moving into, and renovating our new home.

This is a complex progress underlined by the fact that we need funds!

Our goal is one and a half (1-1/2) million dollars over a three (3) year cycle which should cover the remodeling, operations, furnishings and acquisitions. We will need the help of all of our friends in achieving this goal. We have received a challenge grant in which every dollar we raise is matched by fifty-cents.

This appeal is like a pebble dropped in a pool. It will spread out in ever widening circles and get the message to many, many people who will wish to help us. This then is my year end appeal. Enclosed is a prepaid envelope and one (1) extra. Send what you can and pass the other envelope on to a friend.

If you would like several of these envelopes (and brochures) which you could send out with a personal appeal letter, let us know and we will send you some.

Thank you for your concern for the "Immortal Children!"

Sincerely,

Margaret
