Dear Members & Friends,

We thank you for your support during the past year. As we begin our new fiscal year, the Attleboro Area Industrial Museum, Inc. appeals to you to consider a contribution to this year's Annual Fund Drive.

We have all experienced tremendous changes in our communities during the past year. Our resources, both financial and human, are stretched thin. Yet individuals and families look to us as one of the many institutions essential to their quality of life.

In this time of unpredictable resources, it is more important than ever to support an organization that meets community needs and collaborates with other organizations that advocate lifelong learning.

We realize there are numerous causes and organizations that compete for your charitable interests and this makes us all the more appreciative of your support. We do not take your generosity for granted. We feel a responsibility to be careful stewards to the resources you provide. While an outright gift is always appreciated, please consider the Attleboro Area Industrial Museum when arranging your will, opening a charitable gift annuity, arranging a charitable trust, or considering life insurance beneficiaries. All of these gifts, whether presently in hand or expectant for the future, ensure our continued success as a viable cultural entity in the Attleboro Area.

The Annual Fund provides unrestricted income to help meet the operating needs of the Museum. Aside from ensuring that the electricity and heat continue to flow, we use these funds to maintain our historic building and equipment, care for the collection, and support programming. In the last year alone, the Museum has offered a free Summer Camp, free April Vacation workshops, and free lectures and events including a three week special Wednesday Night Market display of NBR&N model railroad trains.

We feel a keen sense of gratitude not only for your generosity, but also for your expression of confidence that our mission continues to be of the utmost importance. We hope you will respond generously to this year's Annual Fund Drive. Thank you for your time, and, thank you in advance for your participation.

Very truly yours,

William H. Adair, Jr.
President
Board of Directors
