It is with appreciation that I continue to acknowledge receipt of your donations to the National
Heritage Center. As you might imagine, it is imperative that we all continue to demonstrate our
belief in this project and continue to make contributions in order to reach full completion of
the interior of the building, including landscaping. During this time of economic crisis in our
nation, many of us are making choices as to our expenditures. Spending as well as saving our
money is a challenge. We are apprehensive about the money that we have invested in the financial
market as well as in our homes and our communities. The crisis in our nation will affect each
one of us, no matter our age or station in life. Now, more than ever, in our Order, as in our
Nation, it is important that we come together and show unity; that we remain level-headed and
hold steadfast to our values; that we have the foresight to look beyond these times and dedicate
our energies and resources toward the things in our lives that signify the future.

The milestone that we have achieved in the construction of the National Heritage Center with
the help of dedicated Members such as each one of you is truly a demonstration of our
determination for the future and exhibits our belief in the permanence of our Order. In this
time of stress and uncertainty, you can be proud that you have had and continue to have the foresight
to be a part of this undertaking that will shape the future of our Order. Pictures of the construction
progress are now posted on the BPO Does website, bpodoes.org. We will continue in 2008-2009 to add
the donations to those given since June 2001 to determine the individual Member and
Drove contribution levels. If you have previously contributed to this important project and can do
so again, please accept our advance thanks.
