Every
Penny Counts....
Here
at the Old Stone House in Hasbrouck, NY, we've set up a big jar to
collect pennies. It's a symbolic gesture to let everybody know we need
your help.
In
recent years, the Old Stone House has grown into one of our area's
pre-eminent sites for high-quality art exhibits, community gatherings,
social events, and courses for kids of all ages.
And
our friends and neighbors have supported us with heartfelt contributions
of both time and funding.
But,
as you all realized every time you walked outside, last winter was
brutal...and this winter is just around the corner. That means, among
other weather-related problems, our winter heating costs have soared.
Even keeping this glorious historic structure at a modest 45-degrees
stretched our budget to the breaking point. And that's after adding
plastic panels to the windows...double-checking all the insulation...and
making sure the doors all closed tightly.
Can
you help us get through the winter's difficulties?
Sure,
we're delighted to accept your pennies. But your dimes and dollars are
even more appreciated. We are now a designated 501(c)3 tax-exempt
organization, and your donation qualify for a tax deduction to the full
extent permitted by law. So you might consider shaking loose more than a
little change -- or, better yet, a check for $20, $50 or even more -- to
help get us through these tight spots.
If
you just recalled that old coffee can full of pennies hidden beneath the
staircase, call Sue Welch (845-434-7626) or Alana Sherman (845-436-0070)
to work out an easy way to pass it along.
Or
you can send your check to the address below, made payable to "Old
Stone House of Hasbrouck, Inc."
To make it all easier, you could use your credit card to donate through
the secure PayPal system:
Here
at the Old Stone House, we're truly old-fashioned -- we still believe
that every penny (and every dollar) counts!
We
thank you in advance for your help.
