THE CIRCLES | JUNE 2023

National and Chairman opera event

As we come to the end of our fiscal year ending June 30, we are filled with immense gratitude for your unwavering support and dedication to the Foundation and our state museums, historic sites and OAS. Your Circles membership has been instrumental in shaping the success and impact of our organization, and for that, we extend our heartfelt thanks.

Over the years, your belief in our mission has been an incredible source of inspiration and motivation for all of us. Your Circles membership contributions have enabled us to make significant strides towards our shared goals, empowering our development team to focus their efforts solely on funding for our state museum system.

We firmly believe that our journey has just begun. While we have accomplished a great deal, there is still so much more to be done. As our Foundation continues to grow and evolve along with the growth of our funding portfolio, so does our need to grow our membership to increase the level of financial support our Foundation will need.

Here are a few ways you can continue to support us and play an integral role in our ongoing success and growth:

1. Renew Your Circles Membership or Upgrade to a Higher Level: By renewing your membership, you demonstrate your commitment to our cause and help us maintain the momentum we have built. Your continued support ensures that we can sustain existing programs, expand our reach, and explore innovative solutions to the challenges we face.

2. Spread the Word: You possess a powerful voice within your networks. By sharing your experiences as a member and advocating for our organization, you can help us reach new audiences and attract more like-minded individuals who share our vision. Your recommendations and testimonials carry immense weight and inspire others to get involved.

3. Host a Prospective Membership Event in Your Home: Hosting an event would provide numerous benefits for both parties involved. It would not only raise awareness about the important work the Foundation does and the importance of membership support to continue that work, but also give you an opportunity to showcase your commitment to philanthropy and community engagement. Additionally, it would allow us to connect with a wider audience and attract new members who share our vision. We understand that hosting an event requires time, resources, and commitment, but don’t worry. We will handle all the logistics and execution of the event to ensure that it goes smoothly and is successful.

4. Engage with Us: Stay connected with us through our newsletters, social media platforms, and events. Your active participation allows us to keep you informed about our progress, upcoming projects, and opportunities for collaboration.

As we move forward, we remain committed to ensuring that your membership experience continues to be rewarding and meaningful. We are working diligently to enhance our offerings, provide valuable resources, and create even more opportunities for you to engage and connect with fellow Circles members.

Once again, thank you for being an essential part of our journey so far. With your ongoing support, we are confident that we can accomplish even greater feats and leave a lasting legacy of positive change.

Together, let us continue to pave the way towards an exciting year ahead!
