Dear Friends, As 2017 comes to a close, we wanted to take the opportunity to thank those of you who have already supported our many endeavors, ranging from the Conservation DistList and Conservation OnLine (CoOL) resources to FAIC's professional development programs, Connecting to Collections Care webinars, and emergency programs. Thanks to your support, we've managed to achieve a lot this past year. The ConsDistList has a new look and is now sent to you (and 10,000 of your international colleagues) twice a week on a regular schedule. FAIC has provided 18 free collections care webinars viewed by more than 4,100 people from around the world, supported 74 conservation assessments to help small and mid-size museums preserve their collections, and produced 25 professional development workshops and courses. Our National Heritage Responders volunteers have been busy helping museums, libraries, and archives affected by this year's hurricanes and wild fires. Two additional NHR teams will depart shortly to continue our assistance in Puerto Rico.
In order to provide these opportunities, events, and services, we need your support. FAIC does not charge for the ConsDistList or CoOL, nor do we receive grant support for these resources. We rely on donations from people like you so that we can keep these programs running. If you haven't done so already, we hope that you'll consider making a year-end donation to support the programs you use and love. You can write a check to FAIC and mail it to 727 15th Street, NW, Suite 500, Washington, DC 20005, USA, or make a contribution by credit card at www.conservation-us.org/donate<http://www.conservation-us.org/donate>. Warm regards and many thanks for your ongoing support of FAIC!

You will always find people who are helping.' To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers - so many caring people in this world." - Mr. Rogers ****** Unsubscribe by sending a message to [email protected] Searchable archives: http://cool.conservation-us.org/byform/mailing-lists/cdl/
