All,
As some of you have seen in our Preservation Forum, 16+ acres have been purchased at Chancellorsville for $200,000. This money was fronted to the Central Virginia Battlefield Trust (CVBT) by two of it's members because the window of time to purchase this land was closing.
The CVBT is hoping to obtain a $150,000 grant from the Federal government and they have received $25,000 from the CWPT. That leaves $25,000 to be raised by the CVBT. Raising this money quickly will facilitate obtaining the $150,000 grant. Without the grant, the CVBT will have to raise the entire $175,000 needed to pay back the members.
With Paul's permission, I am heading an effort here on the A/C forum to raise money toward the $25,000 needed by the CVBT. If you would like to help the CVBT get their grant and preserve this important land at Chancellorsville, please send what you can. Make your check out to Central Virginia Battlefield Trust and put Chancellorsville in the memo line. Send your check to:
Mike Chapman
5734 N. 15th Street
Arlington, VA 22205
By writing the check out to CVBT, you can deduct it from your taxes as a charitable donation. I will collect the checks, write a letter to CVBT and send the money on to them.
The CVBT allows you to make a donation by credit card also at:
https://commerce.mindspring.com/www....orm_donate.htm
I would ask that you put Authentic Campaigner in the Organization block if you choose this option and email me when you do so so that I can include your amount in the letter to CVBT.
I would like to collect all money during the month of April and deliver it to them by the 141th anniversary of the battle of Chancellorsville.
As you can see, your donation will, in essence, amount to a 4-1 match, which means your $5 donation is used as $20 by the CVBT in acquiring this important land.
Thank you for your consideration in this important matter.
