Important!!! - Lee CTA Tennis Court Project (complete message)
Dear Friends and Members of the Lee CTA,
 
We're proud to say that over the past few months we've raised 70% of the $60,000 needed to repair cracks, resurface, and improve drainage at the six Lee Middle/High School tennis courts. These improvements are needed in order to insure a long life for this beautiful facility, which includes 3 lighted courts donated by the Lee CTA twelve years ago. All of our youth tennis programs, high school tennis teams, and many of our adult programs use these courts. 
 
The challenge facing us is to quickly complete this fund drive so that we can complete the court improvements before the high school tennis season begins mid-March. That date is fast approaching! With $42,000 in hand, we need $18,000 to reach our goal.
 
We're asking for your assistance. You may be one of the players in our programs, who directly benefit from the tennis courts. You may have played in our tennis programs in the past or have had children in our programs. You may be one of our friends from over the past 27 years who have supported us in our mission "to provide facilities and coordinate instructive and competitive tennis programs for youth and adults from Lee and surrounding towns." You are one of the 600 individuals, who is receiving this email. Your support is critical to the success of the Lee Middle/High School Tennis Court Project
 
Last month we sent out an appeal suggesting that if each of you sent just $10, we'd be close to attaining our goal. We were pleased to receive $300 from 6 members, ranging in size from $30 to $100! Perhaps you could take the lead from these generous donors! $30 donation from each of you would amount to $18,000, completing the fund drive!   
 
We are so lucky to have the United States Tennis Association (USTA) grants covering 45% ($27,000) of the cost, our Lee CTA $4500, and the Lee School District $10,000. Schools need all the assistance we can give them during these tough economic times. This is an opportunity to complete a very expensive project at very little cost to the community. All of us will benefit from the improvements. We hope that you'll share in our excitement about bringing this project to fruition - insuring that this beautiful six court public facility is preserved for you, your children, grandchildren and generations to come.   
 
The Lee CTA is a 501(c)3 tax exempt MA corporation. Your contributions to the Lee CTA are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. We plan to recognize any contributions of $100 or more on our website, unless advised to the contrary.
