ESTABLISHMENT OF A DEDICATED SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL ROOM What do you do with your books and Churchilliana? Like me, many of you I suspect have collected books by and about Sir Winston Churchill, some signed by the authors. You have treasured these books as well as paintings, drawings and other items of Churchilliana such as Toby Jugs. Now you find that your children are not particularly interested in receiving them now or when you go to Glory. So what do you do, sell the better pieces and donate the remainder! Now you find that libraries and the Centers such as the National Churchill Library and Center and the National Churchill Museum are selectively interested. So what do you do? There is now a very real opportunity to donate your items to a 501(c)3 entity in Washington DC. Please immediately go to The Mansion on O Street www.omansion.org and find out about this fascinating organization with its O Museum in the mansion. It is also a place where you can stay when you are in Washington DC and I would strongly urge you to check it out and stay there in this sumptuous establishment. What actually fascinates me more is that the Museum is has dedicated one of its rooms to Sir Winston Churchill. It has been decided that the original Fireplace Suit (Bedroom with a Queen size bed, large living room, entertainment console, ensuite bathroom, Kitchenette back porch and balcony and a dedicated Study area) will now become the Sir Winston Churchill Room. Its full activation is dependent on some additional tax deductable contributions. An initial significant donation has already been made to get it started. Anyone who becomes a Contributor-Sponsor at the $2,000 level or more will receive a 30% discount on the prevailing room rate, which is currently $850 per night. Your name will appear on a plaque outside of the door to the Sir Winston Churchill Room identifying you as a Contributor-Sponsor. The O Museum in the mansion is looking for donations of books and Churchilliana to fully activate their vision of the Sir Winston Churchill Room. You should email the owner at h...@omansion.com for more information about making donations (tax deductible) of books, paintings, Churchilliana and other related ephemera. Further, you might want to become a Friend of the OMuseum: go to foundat...@omuseum.org John H. Mather MD FACPE President, Churchill Society of Tennessee johnmat...@aol.com
