On behalf of Rebuilding Together Seattle and the Board of Directors, I am thrilled to announce that our 2009-2010 Annual Appeal has passed the $20,000 mark! This year, our goal for the Appeal was $17,000. During the final week of December, RTS has received enough donations to carry us past our goal.
RTS continues to thank our many generous donors who have given so much to our organization, and looks forward to announcing a final total in 2010.
We hope you have a very Happy New Year!

Give AND Get - the RTS Annual Appeal & YPS Social!
As you may already know, in November, Rebuilding Together Seattle started our Annual Appeal, to raise funds for costs associated with our home repair program. This year, our goal is to raise $17,000. We have already reached $6,215.00 in just one month, with the help of 39 donors, including former board members, volunteers, and YPS members.
This year, RTS is asking friends of our organization to consider participating in the Annual Appeal. Every dollar donated by Young Professionals Society (YPS) members will go toward exclusive funds for YPS, including service project materials, meetings food, event expenses, and awards. Every dollar donated by friends of the Youth Board will go toward exclusive YB funds.
Our Holiday Social (Hosted by YPS) is just around the corner: Thursday, December 17th at the George & Dragon Pub. All event attendees who participate in the annual appeal by making a donation of $15.00 or more to Rebuilding Together Seattle (before or on the 17th) will be awarded with a free drink ticket at the social (if you can’t make it to the social we’ll treat you at the next one!) Individuals who donate $30.00or more will be awarded with TWO free drink tickets.
Thank you for your consideration and support. Please know that every donation makes a difference, large or small. If you prefer writing a check, donations can be mailed to: 811 Harrison St, Seattle, 98109.
Sincerely,
The RTS Board & Staff
