2009 Ends With Largest Donation
With our first full year complete, the Board of the 1400’s gathered for their annual meeting in Room 1400 in Las Vegas on December 5th.
Through the support of members and the Board we were able to provide significant assistant during the year and are well positioned entering 2010. The Board approved the creation of apparel and themed merchandise to benefit the organization so check back often to see what we have in “store” in the next few weeks. We’ll also be adding details on how you can become a Member of the 1400’s.
The most exciting news came after Christmas when we received the largest donation from a contributor! Having worked hard to spread the word all year, it was quite humbling to think that Tom and Chris McDougall of North Dakota had heard about the 1400’s and thought enough of the organization to make it the recipient of their 2009 gift:
My wife and I learned of your group from (a Board member) about a year ago, and frankly forgot about it until today. As we were thinking of what we could do to help some people out, we thought about the organization again, and upon doing a little research, decided to let your team use this small token in ways we may not be able to ourselves.
Please accept this gift and use it as a blessing to others who may need it more than us this year!
Thank you to Tom, Chris and all those who have provided support, monetary or otherwise, and we look forward to doing even more in the coming year.
