Dear Perkins Staff,

 

Perkins Pond has been closed and fenced off since 1982. Today you can help
bring this natural historic resource back to life.

 

We have been selected as a finalist by the National Trust for Historic
Preservation to participate in the Partners in Preservation online
competition for up to $100,000 from American Express.

 

From April 14 - May 17, the public is invited to vote here for the places
they would like to see receive preservation funding. Each person can vote
once daily for any of the 25 historic places. The winner of the public vote
is guaranteed to receive a grant!

 

We need your daily vote to win! VOTE AT:

For years, the pond was a place for students to experience nature. There was
boating in the summer and ice skating in the winter. It remained a useful
feature on campus until it was closed.

 

This project will restore Perkins Pond to the safe, accessible and beautiful
resource it once was. This is a restricted opportunity. The prize money can
be used exclusively for the Perkins Pond.

 

VOTE DAILY ONLINE <http://www.partnersinpreservation.com/>  and please share
this exciting news with your friends and family!

 

THANK YOU!
