F.Y.I. [written in marker]

We would like to acknowledge, with our deepest
appreciation, the importance of your personal
contribution to Children's Studio School, and to make
you aware of a situation that has placed the diversity
of the School's community in danger.

This year has bee characterized by enormous cutbacks
in government funding. Currently, forty children
require full or partial scholarships. To maintain our
commitment to the School's low-income families, we need
your help urgently.

The 1987 Scholarship Fund is this year's singular
fundraising request. $7,500 will cover the annual cost
of one child attending our School. Please give your
crucial support by contributing to one child's
education. We are asking you to ensure that as our School
continues to grow, our multieconomic and multicultural
community will grow with us.

We invite you once again to visit the School and meet
Damilola, Tope, Langston, Terefe, Jose and the other
children, whom you affect most directly. It is
through your contribution that you, like the children,
give life to the School's goals and beliefs.

Sincerely,

Marcia [signature]
Marcia McDonell
President
