$100 from 100 Appeal
Aug 21 2010, 10:00 AM
Attention members of the American First Day Cover Society (AFDCS):
Like many today, the AFDCS has been experiencing a cash flow problem. Our primary expense time of the year (summer, with AMERICOVER) does not match our primary income time of the year (either side of January 1, when most membership renewals occur). Regretfully, we do not have the endowment that other organizations do. At our annual meetings at AMERICOVER, the Executive Committee and Board of Directors of the AFDCS agreed to attack the problem. We've set a goal of raising $10,000 in contributions. This would cover all outstanding and near term expenses and give us a bit of a nest egg.
While we always accept contributions of any size, we are looking for members to step up to the plate (we had a baseball theme at AMERICOVER this year). We are especially looking for donations of $100 or more (and are grateful to those who have recently made substantial donations). If 100 members each donated $100, we'd reach the goal.
Now is the time for AFDCS members to show their support. If you enjoy the first day cover hobby, the AFDCS, its events and publications, please consider showing your support with a donation (if possible of $100 or more). You may donate online via this link, or you can mail contributions to AFDCS, PO Box 16277, Tucson, AZ 85732.
THANKS in advance for your support.
