"I am asking you to assist the Foundation in raising money for the 'Disaster Relief Fund', from the State Societies, your members, Society Sustaining Members, local vendors and anyone else you can think of! 

Please be as generous as possible with your donations. I know that times are still difficult in some areas but send whatever you can afford. We will gratefully accept any donation you can make!"

"In the early days of hand drafting I loved the artistry of the work I was asked to do. I loved to create and have a finished product. I was naturally good at it so it helped build my confidence. I love a good mystery so I loved to build the deed mosaics and solve the mysteries. I love to learn so I loved learning the new technologies as they were introduced to me. I also enjoyed the interaction with coworkers and clients." Learn more.
