Fall Tribute Card from HopeWell!<br />
I go to nature to be soothed and<br />
have my senses put in order...<br />
– John Burroughs<br />
Tribute Cards are a beautiful way<br />
to make a gift in honor or in memory<br />
<strong>of</strong> someone special.<br />
HopeWell will send out a personalized card to<br />
each person you designate, letting them know<br />
that you have made a gift on their behalf.<br />
<strong>The</strong> minimum gift per honoree is $10.<br />
Ordering is easy. Simply provide us with a list<br />
<strong>of</strong> names and addresses <strong>of</strong> the people you<br />
would like to recognize—along with your<br />
contribution—and we’ll do the rest.<br />
Please indicate that your contribution is<br />
a FALL Tribute gift. If you have questions or<br />
want to learn more about making a tribute<br />
gift to HopeWell, contact the Development<br />

“As a Board member and WellWisher I have supported HopeWell for many, many years. But it wasn’t until I, myself, was<br />
diagnosed with breast cancer that I truly appreciated the amount <strong>of</strong> quiet intention that goes into every decision made —<br />
from the smell <strong>of</strong> c<strong>of</strong>fee brewing to the Amish architecture <strong>of</strong> the Barn. Without knowing it, HopeWell had prepared me<br />
for dealing with cancer. Now I can say I am a volunteer, a donor and a participant… and that I am truly grateful.”<br />
– Connie Baker<br />
