President’s Letter: November 2014

Dear Friends:

We are building something special! Two new essentials enhance our mission:

After many months of work we are finally opening a brand new website and a new web address as well. You will soon notice that our old web address (www.alexandrialegends.com) will migrate to our new address: www.alexandrialegends.org. You will notice a lot of changes to the site including better access to information about our Living Legends, improved searching capabilities, more news to keep you up to date, and enhanced on line ticketing and purchasing capabilities. This is a big step for Living Legends of Alexandria and we owe many thanks to the team at Potomac Management Resources for all their hard work. It will continue to be a “work in process” with lots of improvements to come. Going forward we need your feedback…please let us know what you think and where we can improve.

We are also announcing our year-end fundraising campaign with a brand new twist. We can now accept ongoing monthly donations payable by credit card. For most of us, the ability to make small donations throughout the year is a much more convenient way to support Living Legends. We are trying to attract 100 of our supporters to commit to donate $10 or $20 each month (or any amount they choose, actually) and if we are successful this will close the fundraising gap we now have. You can cancel at any time, of course. We hope you will support this effort and will sign up for this right away. 

One more thing: Like so many on our board of directors (and our Legends in general) Bill Kehoe has recently been recognized for his many years of service as a volunteer in our community. Rebuilding Together Alexandria awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award to Bill for his many years of service improving the lives and homes of Alexandrians in need. We congratulate him for this award and thank him for his continued service.

Happy Thanksgiving!
