To: HHSC Members From: Tim Welles, Region 3 SSA Director We have each been offered an unparalleled opportunity to help both the Soaring Society of America and the National Soaring Museum. Dianne Black-Nixon, our SSA Chairman and frequent visitor to Harris Hill, has announced a "Matching Grant Challenge". She will personally match all donations to the SSA made by May 1, 2008 up to a cumulative total of $25,000. To make this even more appealing, Peter Smith, the Director of the National Soaring Museum, and a Director of both the SSA and Harris Hill Soaring Corporation, has offered to personally match any gift to the National Soaring Museum accompanied by a "Matching Grant Challenge" gift to the SSA with a gift to the SSA up to a cumulative total of $2,500. The same deadline of May 1, 2008 of course applies here as well and Peter's match for each individual gift will be capped at $250. So, here is a way to double your impact, help two worthy organizations that are very important to our beloved sport of soaring, and get a tax deduction as well! Please get your checkbook out now and write a check to both the SSA and NSM, noting "Matching Grant Challenge" in the memo section. Thank you!
