Hi, all,

I'm waiting for inspiration to strike while writing our annual fund direct
mail letter. We'll be mailing out to about 500 people, and we have a lot of
good news. We've received a lot of funding from other areas (government,
etc.) and I want them to know that things are going well. However I also
want to stress that we still need their contributions in order to continue
growing. Any ideas on how I can gracefully accomplish both (emphasizing need
while celebrating success). Or do any of you have direct mail pieces that
you would be willing to mail or e-mail, so that I can prime the pump?

Thanks,
Erica
