Still time: Include Fishtrap in your end-of-year giving

Dear Fishtrap Friends,
A few weeks ago, we sent out a mailing asking Fishtrap's community of writers, readers and other supporters to consider an end-of-year gift to Fishtrap. Many of you have responded already, and generously. Thank you! But we still have a ways to go to meet our goal.

If you have not yet made your 2010 year-end tax-deductible donation, please consider doing so now. With your help, we can continue Fishtrap's proud 23-year legacy of rich programs, workshops, gatherings and publications (and, yes, that "rich" pun was intended!). Remember, no gift is too small, but if you can, please give generously.

There are two easy ways to donate so that your donation counts for 2010:
1) Donate online at www.fishtrap.org anytime up until midnight on December 31.
2) Date your check prior to midnight on December 31 and mail it to: Fishtrap, PO Box 38, Enterprise, OR 97828. Postmarked December 31 or earlier is best, but who saves envelopes? Checks received within the first week of January and dated in 2010 will be counted.

If you live in Oregon, be sure to match your donation to Fishtrap (and other participating arts and cultural organizations) with a donation to the Oregon Cultural Trust. Double the impact of your gift and receive a dollar for dollar credit on your Oregon income tax for 2010 at the same time. How can you beat that?

On behalf of the entire Fishtrap Board and Staff, here's to a wonderful, writing-filled New Year!

With gratitude,

Barbara Dills
Interim Executive Director
