F o u n d a t i o n o f f e r s n e w SAR p i n t o m e m b e r s How often have we been asked who we are? Now, we can show our friends. "We are SAR!" The SAR Foundation has adopted a new campaign to support the National Society's initiative to help BRAND SAR. The Foundation is ofering a new SAR lapel pin for members. With this new tool to promote SAR, chapter members will be more visible, which makes it easier to promote SAR and build membership. And, the pin can be presented to new members. Simply stated, each chapter member deserves one of these pins. Why give? Many members believe that after the old Headquarters building was sold and staf moved to the new building that the new Headquarters building was complete. But, it is not complete, there is much that remains to be done to complete the three-level building. Staf occupies about one-half of the top foor. The main level has been cleaned out, has modern, new restrooms, solid foors covered with wooden underlayment, temporary paint on the walls, and some lights, but it is far from being complete. And the lower level, the location of the Education Center, lacks even more to be complete. We are required to have a new elevator, light fxtures, an updated electrical system and a complete refurbishment before the facility is complete and widely usable. It is our Headquarters, so your gift at this time will go a long way towards completing the building. Our goal is participation from 500 chapters before the 2016 Congress in Boston. How the campaign will work. Your participation is important. All State SAR Society Presidents are requested to encourage each of their Chapters to consider making a group donation to the SAR Foundation in the amount of $10 for each member. If there are 15 members, the donation would be $150; 100 members, the donation would be $1,000. The Foundation will return a SAR lapel pin to be distributed to each member. The advantage of a group donation, with one Chapter check, is that donations are maximized while shipping expenses are minimized. How to give - we need your help. Please discuss your Chapter's plan for participation and send a donation soon. We look forward to announcing your Chapter's participation at the 2016 Spring Leadership. Please send your SAR Chapter Check to: SAR Foundation, 809 West Main Street, Louisville, KY 40202-2619 Want more information? Please contact SARF Board Member Rick Hollis at tnssar@bellsouth.net or 615.812.2648. Your support of this project and participation will make a diference! Thank you!
