MOULTRIE —
Every year here at the Arts Center letters are sent to request end-of-year donations. The letters are sent to Arts Center Patrons, vendors and contacts. This year’s letter is from the Board President of theColquitt County Arts Center, Alex Malone. I annually like to include this letter as a Sunday article to reach beyond our mailing lists.
I personally want to invite you to send an end-of-year donation to support the arts in Colquitt County. Or if the arts are not your liking; you can indicate that you would like to help with the historic preservation of this old 1928 building. The roof that shelters some 40,000 square feet of floor space is in desperate need of replacement.
As a point of interest, in 1928 the Moultrie High School that is now the Arts Center was constructed at a cost of $80,000, a new roof today will total upwards of $120,000. Times have really changed!
You can help to support the arts or you can help to maintain this historic building and at the same time keep the art dry and safe. I would happily welcome either of these end-of-year gifts.
Here is the letter that went out this week from Alex for your consideration.
Dear Arts Center Friends,
The Colquitt County Arts Center has a long history of pride in our community. To ensure the future of this landmark arts facility your support is needed. As you review your annual financial gift commitments for 2012, please consider a charitable gift to the Colquitt County Arts Center.
An end of year tax-deductible donation to the Colquitt County Arts Center is a good way to reduce your tax bill while providing the Arts Center with much needed financial support. The uncertainty of future charitable tax deductions in Washington may indicate that this is a good time to make a year end contribution to the Arts Center.
We are uniquely fortunate to have such a beautiful arts center in our community and it’s up to all of us to ensure that the arts continue to thrive for future generations. Our Arts Center is the premier cultural center in Colquitt County for the visual and performing arts. The arts are vital to the future economic growth and prosperity of our community and benefit everyone.
The staff and dedicated board members of the Colquitt County Arts Center have, collectively, worked extremely hard during this year to improve its programming, cultural opportunities, and events and to manage the Center and its resources efficiently.
As the end of the year approaches, the Colquitt County Arts Center is looking forward to the peace and prosperity that the New Year will hopefully bring. Thank you for your continued commitment to theColquitt County Arts Center. If you wish to make an end-of-the-year contribution, please send it to:
Colquitt County Arts Center
401 7th Ave. SW
Moultrie, GA 31768.
We will look forward to seeing you at the Arts Center during the New Year.
Sincerely, Alex Malone
Board President
