Scottish Portal
Subject: Follow up
to fundraising request for conclusion project
____________________________________________________________________________________
In February we issued our last fundraising letter request for the
Scottish Portal project. As you recall, our target was to raise the last $8000.00 needed to finish the
project. I am happy to advise we only
need to raise $3000.00 to finish off the project. That means our stakeholders were very
generous and sent in $5000.00 between February and August of this year. We are very grateful for those donations and
we appreciate every amount you gave towards the project. If you have not
received your receipt for your donation, please contact us and let us know. We can be reached by any of the
following below.
Unfortunately, we do require
the last $3000.00 to bring the site live for November 25th. We are asking for your help to raise the last
$3000.00 of the $8000.00. In order to go
live with the site by November 25th we require the $3000.00 by
October 15, 2014 at the latest in order to finish the work and to meet the
deadline.
You have been so helpful and
supportive to date, we hope you will not let us down now that we are so close
to the finish ( Two months to go live).
Once again, we can issue tax receipts for your donation.
1. Donate. First and
foremost, funding the project is at the top of our list. You can donate in the following amounts:
$75$100$200Other
Donating is easy, simply send
your cheque - made payable to Associates of the Provincial Archives and
by
noting on the cheque in the notes section “Scottish
Portal Fund” you will be eligible for a charitable tax receipt. In recognition
of your donation, you will be listed on the Website as supporter of the NB
Scottish
Portal.
2. Share information about the importance of
this project with your friends and family.
We need to ensure
that we preserve our history and the story of the Scots
in New Brunswick.
Please
remember the NB Scottish Portal, once completed, will finally tell the story of the Scots who came to New Brunswick, settled here and advanced the Province to a vibrant and civilized community. The
story of the Scots has never been told in its entirety and we must ensure that our forbearers’ efforts are included in New Brunswick’s history.
Again, we need your help to make this project is a
success. Donate today.
I
look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely,
Daniel
Taylor,
Chair,
New Brunswick Scottish Portal Advisory Committee
