TWO
WAYS TO HELP IN 2005: JOIN FHL'S LIST OF SUPPORTERS;
MAKE TAX-DEDUCTIBLE YEAR-END GIFT
Join
FHL's List of Supporters
You can help turn the High Line into a much-needed community
amenity just by adding
your name to the list of supporters
backing the structure's
transformation to public open space. FHL will be speaking about
the need to preserve and reuse the High Line at upcoming
public hearings on the City's proposed West Chelsea rezoning.
By adding your name, you'll help FHL advocate for the
High Line's
needs during the rezoning process. The information you give
us will be used for this purpose only and will not be given
to other organizations. Add
your name to list of FHL supporters.
Make a Tax-Deductible Year-End Gift
The dream of transforming the High Line into an original and
innovative public open space moved much closer to reality in
2004. To get a sense of our many major successes, please
view our list of 2004 accomplishments and 2005
goals.
We never could have
built such momentum without the backing of our generous supporters.
We hope you will consider making a year-end, tax-deductible
gift to Friends of the High Line to help us secure the High
Line's future as a great
new public space for New York City.
You can donate
online; or send a tax-deductible check
payable to Friends of the High Line, 430 West 14th Street,
#304, New York, NY 10014; or
e-mail FHL's development director, Juliet
Page; or
call Juliet at (212) 206-9922.
