Mr. Jim Lemon,

Dear Mr. Lemon,
As a member of the class of 1988, you, like many others, probably have many
fond memories of our alma mater, Vigil East High School. I recently learned that the
building is being considered for demolition because of its age and structural integrity.
As a result, I have decided to call upon the many graduating classes of the
school to band together and save the historic building from demolition. According to the
documents I have reviewed and information from meetings I have attended, a minimum
of $214,000 is necessary to save the school and bring it up to code. Once the repairs
are made, I plan to start the process of having it declared an historic landmark. You can
help by donating your time, skills, or money. We need skilled tradesmen, including
carpenters, roofers, plumbers, and electricians, as well as laborers. In addition, we are
asking for monetary donations, as follows, although donations in any amount will be
accepted gladly: A donation of...
$100 categorizes you as a Save Our School Friend
$250 a Patron
$500 a Benefactor
Once our monetary goal has been reached, the necessary repairs and
replacements will be made as follows:
Phase I: roof and exterior
Phase II: electrical and plumbing, and
Phase III: interior walls, trim, flooring, and fixtures.
I hope you will join our conservation efforts so that Vigil East High School will
continue to stand proudly for many more years. If you have questions, please contact
me at the phone number or e-mail address above. I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Borja, Joseph M.
