Additional donation expectation information

We ask that trustees contribute at least $200 to the annual campaign.  This is a guideline with some trustees giving more, some giving less.  We do, however, expect a reasonable gift from each individual so that we can state to any trust, foundation, or governmental agency from which we are seeking funds that we have 100% financial support from the board.
