We need all the extra edge we can get in this tricky fundraising climate. Joyce Gillespie with The Lyons Foundation asked me to provide her a copy of any letter that we send to the trustees. Please adapt this letter to your style and send to each of them w/carbon to: Joyce Gillespie The Lyons Foundation 1202 Dairy Ashford Houston, Texas 77079-3004 Dear Jim/R.A. Seale, I've been a member of Society for the Performing Arts for a number of years and have enjoyed every minute. The organization was founded in 1966 along with the establishment of Jones Hall (construction began in 1964 under John Jones/Houston Endowment leadership) and represents some of the finest performers, dancers, musicians in the world. We are appealing more broadly to our local foundations and need your help to allow them to continue their fine outreach program. As you can imagine, the flooding of Jones Hall in June virtually devastated their offices and their archives, but their outreach and education programs have continued due to the staff's dedication to the arts. They even managed to hang onto Mormon Tabernacle Choir when Jones Hall was flooded by moving them over to Reliant Hall. Our city needs as much relief and beauty as we can muster in these difficult times. Thank you for strongly favoring this request. Call Sally Tyler, Director of Development, at 713-227-3384, if you need additional information. ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Monday, October 15, 2001 4:23 PM Subject: RE: Society for the Performing Arts > Sally, I know Jim Prentiss and R.A.
