Membership Matters
Dear Friends,
Let me take a brief moment to tell you why I feel membership to Reeves-Reed Arboretum matters so much. Simply put, it's all about you. Without your participation, all the work that my talented colleagues do every day here - all the classes, the tours, the hours working on the grounds - would be for naught. This past year you've demonstrated to us how much you value the Arboretum just by the sheer number of visits - over 100,000 visitors in 2015! That's significant.
In the next few weeks, you'll receive a short note from me reminding you that it's time to renew your membership. Please don't push it to the bottom of the pile. Take a moment and think about how much you care about Reeves-Reed Arboretum. Then simply renew online through our website or drop us a check. But we need to hear from you. Our work, our purpose is to serve you. In the cosmic scheme of things, our business is service and our bottom line is people. Help us meet that bottom line by supporting Reeves-Reed Arboretum as a member. I promise you, you won't be disappointed.
Cheers,
|
