Final accounting and donation letter

[dusty27]

As I like to do, the following is the final accounting for the After the Battle: Fredericksburg event. I have also cut and pasted the letter I sent along with the money. Hopefully, those who brought checks will get their letter for tax purposes in the near future.

Thank you to all who donated at and to the event.

Hurrah!

I'm glad I was able to participate and put a few ducats into that sizable donation...

Dusty:

Bean counter to bean counter, this is the way things should always be disclosed. If you combine the Glendale-Malvern Hill CR/SWB event with this one, nearly $9,000 made it to the CWPT for battlefield preservation. Not too shabby.

Always at your service,

Dusty,

A mere "thank you" cannot express the gratitude for all that you do behind the scenes.

By the way, I understand Pepe's likeness was captured digitally by Chris Piering's portable image taker. If a preservation pie can fetch $300, then how much can a gimpy skunk be worth?

Considering Pepe's docile, if not outright amorous :D, disposition to all of us, the picture works for me. Catching a skunk could be like catching a girl. According to my grandfather Watson; "You chase them until they catch you..."
