Description

Dear Foundation Member:

You are cordially invited to our annual membership meeting, to be held in Bldg 4, 1st Floor, of the VA Grounds, right next door to the Wadsworth Library. The meeting will start promptly at 6pm February 17, 2010, at the conclusion of our regularly scheduled board meeting. Bring a prospective member with you.

We are anxious to share with you the events of the past 12 months, as this has been a very exciting and productive year for the Foundation. Our negotiations with the federal VA in Washington DC have moved us ever closer to the required lease, that will allow us to begin the restoration of the chapel. We are hopeful that by the time of the membership meeting we will be able to share with you some more certain news.

Please confirm your attendance by calling 414-383-1867 and leaving a confirmation message. You may also pay your 2010 membership dues at the annual membership meeting, or, if it is more convenient, you may mail them to: Soldiers Home Foundation Inc, PO Box 139, 5000 W. National Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53295.

I am looking forward to seeing you.

Sincerely,

Jim Duff

President

Soldiers Home Foundation, Inc.

1889 Chapel Update

Current donations and our goal:

fundraiser ideas

The Milwaukee Soldiers Home Foundation, Inc. has, to date, raised over $200,000 toward restoring the National Soldiers Home Historic District's 1889 Chapel. We've used donations to complete lead, asbestos and animal abatement at the Chapel as well as architectural plans and the required Historic Structures Report. In addition, we've obtained $1.37 million in National Park Service tax credits toward the $6 million project. We need your help to meet the immediate need of raising $500,000 to begin Phase I of the Chapel Restoration project, restoring the damaged Chapel's roof, the first Phase of the Chapel Restoration Project. To donate cash, goods, or time and talent to the project, visit the Chapel Restoration section of this Web site.
