Your contributions to NOA support its many efforts and activities. Please read this letter to learn how you can make a difference:

January 11, 2012

On behalf of the NOA board and finance committee I would like to thank all of the individuals who contributed to the 2011 Capital Campaign.  As NOA grows and expands its goals in providing more opportunities to its members, it is imperative that we increase the amount of money required by the organization to make these projects happen.  Over the years that I have belonged to NOA, I have benefited from many of the programs sponsored by NOA and from my colleagues in the organization who have been willing to share their knowledge and help me to solve problems.

We have now begun our 2012 Capital Campaign, and thus far we have had almost $4,000.00 contributed. We are ahead of last year at this time. I will be sending you a letter shortly, and  I encourage each of you to give what you can to help us continue providing opportunities to our members, to colleges and universities, and to all those individuals that benefit from their association with us.  It is my sincere hope that all of you have a healthy, happy, and successful 2012.

Carol Ann Modesitt, Treasurer and Chair of Finance Committee
