of World War II

Junc 8, 1946

Lawrence, Kansas

Dear K,aU, Friend:

This is a special request to you personally in
connection with the campaign for our World War II memorial,
the great carillon tower and memorial parkway.

We have now passed $50,000 in gifts as a sub-
stantial starter on our goal of $500,000. Some contributions
which have been collected by local committees have not yet been
reported. We know of individuals who definitely plan to make
their contributions, but have not done it yet.

Just one week is left before Commencement. We
are hoping sincerely that we can announce at the annual meet-
ing, Monday, June 17, that the fund has reached $100,000.
Will you help us?

If you have charge of a local campaign will you
please send every donation, pledge and promise to us so we may
have it by Friday, June 14. We are not asking you to re-ar-
range your local campaign plans nor to break up any sequence
that you have in mind if you are scheduled for summer or fall.
Regardless of the situation there must be some few in your
locality (even just your own contribution will help) which may
be sent in.

If you are not connected with any local memorial
campaign we hope you will send in your own contribution, if
you haven't sent it already. To get the job done it will re-
quire

500 gifts at $1,000.00 each or

1000 gifts at $ 500.00 each or
5000 gifts at $ 100.00 each or
--so on down the line,
the smaller the average, the greater number of donations nec-
essary. Our loyal supporters who can do so must keep up the
AVCTAZC.

We'll be thanking you for your good help on this
Commencement round-up.

Cordially,
