June 15, 2008 Update

• We have much to be grateful for and some distance yet to go. Join in now and help us be the way lives are changed for the better.
  We have reached $6,196,909 from 425 pledges/contributions. 34 additional
  pledges have been promised and there are 5 pledges of support from members who will contribute when they can. (Two of the pending pledges/gifts will push the total past $6.2 million.)
  In response to Karen Lewis’s invitation to R.E. parents to make a Capital Campaign donation in honor of their children’s wonderful R.E. teachers, the Hallet family has a made a gift in their daughter Grace’s name honoring the following:
  • 5th-6th Grade Teachers – Scott Murphy, Frankie Branham, and Sharon Mansfield
  • 6th Grade OWL Teachers – Mary Garcia, Larry Claman, Elaine Belcher, and Roger Berry.

• Our Apologies. In the previous DU newsletter, we failed to accurately thank the members of the Women’s Evening Alliance for their thoughtful $140 contribution to the Chart and Compass 2010 Capital Campaign, given in memory of Becky Eaton. We sincerely apologize for erroneously reporting
  the gift as coming from the Women’s Day Alliance, rather than the Women’s Evening Alliance. (The WDA did also make a generous contribution last fall.)
