We are once again pleased to acknowledge the generosity of our friends, those who contributed in 2006 to the Friends of OLLI fund. Donations amounting to $23,315 from members and others amounted to a 28% increase over 2005. On behalf of our members, let me express my gratitude to all the contributors.
A significant fact is that 245 members donated to the Friends this year, representing more than 32% of our membership. This compares to 186 in 2005, when 27% made donations.
We are grateful to all of our donors, regardless of the amount they donated. We should point out that 34 patrons donated $250 or more and an additional 89 donated from $100 to $250. Eight OLLI members donated between $500 and $1,000.
A list of the 2006 contributors follows. Some names do not appear as these donors have requested anonymity. An honor roll of this list is being prepared and will be prominently displayed in the social room at Tallwood.
Friends of OLLI funds are used primarily to support our scholarship program with GMU (in appreciation of the free use of Tallwood) or capital expenditures such as computers or audiovisual equipment. If we didn’t have these donations, funds for these expenditures would have to come from dues. We should note that since the 2006 donations equaled more than $31 per OLLI member, were it not for this generous support, our new dues fee would be over $380.
We invite all members to show their support of OLLI by contributing to the 2007 campaign. You can do this by adding a contribution to your class registration or by responding to our annual solicitation.
With warm regards and much gratitude,
Debbie Halverson
