The new Jewish Community Center in Indianapolis has an elegant, curving
donor wall in their main corridor, with slabs of glass sandblasted with
names attached on the corners with metal cylinders to a back wall of
mahogany.  This is to recognize the contributors to their new facility,
so they theoretically will not change, although there is one panel that
recognizes past presidents so it does have to be updated about every 3-5
years.

However, once the panels went up and everybody got to see all the names
at once, several people contacted the development office and offered to
give more money if they could get their names moved to a higher category
on the wall!  (a great perk of listing everybody on the wall)

The drawback is that the panels are very expensive to sandblast.
