Greg Deese reminded us all that Charles passed away at the end of May 2009. Love him or not, Charles did a lot of work for events and preservation that folks will never know about.
Because Charles was very passionate about preservation, I (with Greg's help) have decided to collect money from the AC membership for the Civil War Preservation Trust (CWPT). The preservation drive will take place between now (May 19th) through the month of June 2010. After all monies are collected, I will send the checks to CWPT with a cover letter stating that we raised the money in Charles's name and what we would like them to do with it (TBD).
The particulars:
1) I will only be accepting checks (NO PAYPAL payments will be accepted). By paying by check, the CWPT will send you a donation receipt to use on your taxes for 2010.
2) All checks should be made out to "Civil War Preservation Trust or CWPT. NOT ME
3) You can send your checks to me at:
Mike "Dusty" Chapman
5734 N. 15th Street
Arlington, VA 22205
4) As I receive checks, I'll post the donors names here on the post (names only).
5) Any size donation would be appreciated. Remember, this will be a group donation, so please donate what you can afford in these tough times.
6) Include your suggestion of where the money should go to with your donation. I'll tally the results and post here for all to see. I don't need suggestions from those who can't/won't donate.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at dustyswb@verizon.net.
To get the ball rolling, I'll pledge $50.00.
Hope to hear from some of you soon.
Received donations from:
Mel Hadden
