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 />

Office at 410.832.2719.<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 />
