Dear
Friends of the WOW,The WOW Science Museum is closer to becoming a reality every day. First of all, on behalf of all of us on the board, thank you all so much for your fantastic support this past year. We have made many
miles of progress in such a short time! As you may know, our lease agreement with the City of Lodi gave us 6 months to raise $165,000 - that deadline arrives February 2, 2007. We are proud to announce that we are within striking distance of that goal,
having raised over $140,000 to date!
So you ask, where is $25,000 going to come from in the next two weeks? First of all, we have our Casino Night coming up this Friday night. If you haven't already bought your tickets, go online and do so! We
have a slew of exciting silent auction items, and some great prizes including a telescope donated by the Lodi School Store!
The other source of funding is the good old fashioned way - selling our elements for a minimum of $1000 (there's still around thirty to choose from), and personal donations. You can donate (corporate or
individual) and your donation is tax deductible. As soon as we have our $165,000 the City will hand over the keys for us to start the building improvements. Our WOW Science
Museum will be everything we dreamed of and more. It has been amazing to see how the community has come forward, committing to help us with design, construction, programming and supplies. Wow, indeed!
Many, many thanks!
