Dear Judy fan,

Thank you for your genuine interest in preserving the wonderful legacy of our mother, Judy Garland.

We personally invite you to be a part of Judy's circle as a special friend of the Judy Garland Museum.

The many volunteers and dedicated staff of this one-of-a-kind attraction have created a very loving tribute for our mother - celebrating her life and career which began in her hometown of Grand Rapids in northern Minnesota. It's truly amazing what has been accomplished in this lovely small town with hard work and limited resources.

Being so very far removed from metropolitan areas makes it ever more difficult to sustain the Judy center without your continued financial support.

Please consider a tax deductible gift of cash. Donations of appreciated stock or real estate generally offer a two-fold tax saving. First, you avoid paying any capital gains tax. Secondly, you receive a tax deduction for the full fair market value on the date of transfer. You might also consider the Museum as a beneficiary in your will. Perhaps you'll consult with your tax advisor today!

A charitable contribution of $1,000 or more payable over four years is suggested. Certainly, any amount that meets your budget will have a direct positive impact. Your support will be matched on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

We very much enjoyed attending the Judy Garland Festival and we hope you'll attend the next celebration - Thursday, June 26 through Saturday, June 28, 2008. Joe will be meeting you there!

With our warmest wishes for you and your family,
