SUPPORTING ST. ANTHONY HALL After reading this newsletter, I hope you will agree that the Delta Chapter of St. Anthony Hall is worthy of your financial support.

The St. Anthony Hall building on Locust Walk has capital projects waiting to be funded. A tax-deductible contribution to St. Anthony 1907 Foundation would help in this regard. The essential projects waiting for funding include: Electrical upgrade to replace the early 1900s electrical service - $75,000 Pantry repair, including two new dishwashers - $10,000 Kitchen upgrade, including new floor - $7,000 Roof repair - $10,000 Quality of life improvements include: Ground floor bathroom upgrade (including handicap access) - $40,000 Library upgrade honoring E. Digby Baltzell - $40,000 New rug for Bruce Hooper Dining Room - $8,000 Air conditioning chiller - $89,000

While over 350 of our 750 Delta alumni have made generous gifts totaling $2,000,000 to the St. Anthony 1907 Foundation to help refurbish 3637 Locust Walk, the renovations to date have used up all but $120,000. Spending that balance would leave nothing for endowing the Hall as I had originally planned. As with any well-used 100 year old building, capital repairs and improvements are always in front of us.

To contribute to the Foundation, send check (tax-deductible) made out to “St. Anthony 1907 Foundation” to St. Anthony 1907 Foundation, P.O. Box 876, Ithaca, NY 14851. Alternatively, log into www.delta3637.org, navigate to DONATE ONLINE!!! and follow prompts.

Thanks for your support.
