I talked to Tod early today and the fund has passed the mark so the Colorado Letterheads will be sending another $1000. Joe B. is going to Cincinnati for the holidays and taking a number of items for the collection from here and will deliver the check as well. That does not mean the need has ended as on-going support of the museum will be critical.
If you have not already done so, I suggest everyone talk to their suppliers and to the non-Letterhead shops in your area about the value of the museum. Most of us have a relationship with an electric shop or so and even a $25 donation will do a lot of good for maintaining the museum.
If you have not sent your check, this is a good time to do so. Tis the season of giving.
AND THANK YOU to eveyone who has participated.

In response to some e-mails, there is more to do of course. So far we have just covered acquisition and shipping of the Glawson collection. Building a display for them and covering the operating costs for even that portion of the building are yet to be considered. I hope everyone will take this initial effort as a long term committment and send a little something yearly. If everyone would send something on the Conclave anniversary every year, it would go a long way to keeping the museum viable.
Thanks to everyone for your efforts, I am sure it will be an inspiration for others to follow.

It FEELS good! Send a donation to the sign museum! ...and while you are at it....send the $ you would spend next week on cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, overeating or some other vice/bad habit (we all got 'em) to some local food pantry, Salvation Army or needy kids fund in your area. Just the amount you would spend for a week (or if you feel generous, a month) on something you shouldn't do anyway, will help you feel good AND maybe help you cut back on that bad habit. TWO birds with one stone! Have a happy holidaze!
