Add a paddle and save a stamp
/
This holiday season, we are making it easy for you to make
an on-line gift to the Abbe. By clicking
the link below, you will be brought to a page with an image of a canoe full of
paddles. You can choose a dollar amount
listed next to the canoe, go through the paypal portal and and the next day you will see
that your gift has triggered another paddle to be added to the image. The number of paddles in the water indicates
the number of gifts that we have received through online giving in November and
December.
Our online goal is to reach $5,000 before the end of
December 2013. All gifts support the
annual fund, which is, metaphorically-speaking, our canoe. The annual fund keeps us afloat, it helps us go where we need to be in 2014, which is a museum full of fresh, new,
exciting exhibits and vibrant educational programs for people of all ages. The
annual fund helps to protect our 50,000 piece collection; and it allows us to
continue moving forward with the important work of sharing our mission with the 30,000 people who will visit us next year.
