FACT CARD
You are aware that your Club has been exper-
SERAIT FORD LIBRARY
iencing financial difficulties over the past several
years. Many steps have been taken to help alleviate
this situation. We are pleased to say the Club cur-
rently is operating in the black and negotiations are
underway for the out right purchasing of your Club.
To further help us in solving our problem for the
purchase of the building, President and Mrs. Ford and
Vice President and Mrs. Rockefeller have graciously
agreed to be with us for a fund raising reception on
the evening of September 10, 1975 from 6:00 p.m.
to 8:00 p.m. at the Club. We are limiting the number
of tickets to 300 at $1000 each. Each ticket will
admit one couple (any two people). This is not a
political campaign contribution in any manner, but a
donation to your Club.
Since we are limiting the number of tickets, we
are informing you as a Club member of this affair
five days prior to others. We will accept donations
on a first come first serve basis.
This reception is very important for the long-term
stability of your Club and also provides an excellent
opportunity for you to visit with President and
Mrs. Ford and Vice President and Mrs. Rockefeller.
Since we expect an enthusiastic response, your early
reply will be greatly appreciated by all involved.
