As our financial year-end approaches, have you thought about what your family history and the GSV means to you? The GSV is always here to help you. To be able to do that and to continue to expand the scope of the help we offer, I am asking you to consider donating to help ensure the GSV remains in a sound position, able to provide an increasing breadth and depth of support for all of our members.
We have a number of on-going projects and some soon to be commenced, subject to the funds being available.
We need to continue to upgrade our website to make sure you are able to navigate it easily. We need to buy new software and to replace ageing and obsolete equipment. We need to further embrace digital marketing.
To be able to do all this and more requires funds beyond our income from membership fees. We need to ask for donations.
So this year I am being “adventurous” and hoping that with your support we will be able to raise $30,000.
If enough of our loyal members and supporters are prepared to chip in, I believe and hope this will be possible. And if you donate for the first time, we welcome you to this special group.
So my request to you is – would you please consider a donation to help ensure a strong and healthy future for the Genealogical Society of Victoria?
Whether it be $50, $100 or $500, any amount will be gratefully received.
I hope your answer is “yes” and that you’ll consider giving before 30 June.
Donations of $2 or more to the GSV more are fully tax-deductible. You can choose to give online through the Donate Now link on the GSV website homepage. Or if you’d find it easier, by calling the GSV on 03 9662 4455, and Linda will be happy to help you make a donation using your credit card. A third way to donate is by cheque, mailing it to the GSV, Level 1, 10 Queen Street, Melbourne Victoria, 3000.
I hope I’ll soon be signing a thank you letter to you.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Brian Reid
President
