I just received this, thought I would share it. Gracie ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: "Wjmcdevitt@aol.com" <Wjmcdevitt@aol.com> To: g.winters@sbcglobal.net Sent: Thursday, October 8, 2009 8:49:39 AM Subject: Sellers Hall Dear Gracie: Thanks for your recent e-mail about your interest in saving Sellers Hall. I am the president of Friends of Sellers Hall, a Pennsylvania nonprofit corporation that was set up to channel the efforts to save this important building. Tim Sellers is chairman of the board, and Coleman Sellers is also a board member. To date, we have applied for 501(c)(3) status with the IRS so that we can offer contributors a tax exemption for their contributions. We have also moved forward and re-tarped the roof and added ventilating louvres to halt the deterioration of the building. We are presenting tomorrow a proposed long-term lease to the owners - the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and St. Alice parish - that will give us possession and enable us to restroe and preseve the property as a house museum. I will contact you again in the near future and let you know how you can help in the effort to save and restore Sellers Hall. Thanks again for your interest. Bill McDevitt, President Friends of Sellers Hall
