This is the last call for the Double It! Matching Fund! The fund <strong>closes tonight at 11:59pm</strong>&#8212;if you've been waiting to give to heighten the excitement at the last minute, this is your cue!<br><br>

To give online, follow the instructions on the Double It! page of the Pines & Maples website (<a href='http://daisiescantell.com/pages/match' target='_blank' title='Double It! Matching Fund | Pines & Maples'>http://pinesandmaples.com/pages/match</a>; by the way, if you are having trouble accessing the website in Internet Explorer, please give it a try in Firefox, Safari, or Chrome). <strong>Remember that gifts of any size count and are received gratefully</strong>. THANK YOU to everyone who has already contributed!<br><br>

We surpassed our initial goal of 150 donors yesterday (terrific!). <strong>Can we make it to 175 (180? 185?) by midnight</strong>?<br><br>

Two other important points:
<ul style='margin-top:5px;'>
	<li>If it is at all possible for you to be on campus this Sunday, January 13, please Come Home to Wilson (info at: <a href='http://daisiescantell.com/pages/come-home' target='_blank' title='Come Home to Wilson | Pines & Maples'>http://pinesandmaples.com/pages/come-home</a>). Over the past few months we have met so many wonderful Wilson Women via email, phone calls, and Facebook. It would be great to meet each other in person AND it will show the Trustees that we are paying attention!</li>
	<li>Wilson Women don't waste any time taking action! The four ad hoc task forces that were created at last Saturday's special Alumnae Association meeting are already organizing and sharing ideas. <strong>However, volunteers are still needed</strong>! The task forces are working virtually, via email and phone, so you can participate from anywhere. Please consider signing up to lend your energy and good ideas to Wilson in the areas of <strong>fundraising</strong>, <strong>marketing</strong>, <strong>recruitment</strong>, or <strong>retention</strong> (sign up at: <a href='http://daisiescantell.com/pages/AAWC-ad-hoc-task-forces' target='_blank' title='AAWC Ad Hoc Task Forces | Pines & Maples'>http://pinesandmaples.com/pages/AAWC-ad-hoc-task-forces</a>).</li>
</ul>

Lastly, after they have tallied all of the numbers, the Advancement Office will give us a final report on Double It! and we will share the results ASAP. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do to help our <em>alma mater</em> at this critical time.<br><br>

Firmly pledged to love and honor...<br><br>
