$200,000  *  200 Gifts Needed  *  200th Birthday Celebration    
Stone Valley Arts at Fox Hill has been Inspiring Creativity in Poultney and throughout the Lakes Region for eight years and remains a vital force of cultural activity in these challenging times. SVA is fortunate to have a permanent home in the former Masonic Lodge, a historic treasure built in 1822. Restoration is well underway, and there is still much to do: new slate roof, front porch repairs, and exterior painting,  for starters. SVA's Capital Campaign has a  goal of $200,000, and we are already more than halfway there! Only $84,000 remains to be raised. We invite you to be part of our fundraising and our future. Stone Valley Arts at Fox Hill is a public good, an important community asset, a cultural resource to be enjoyed by you, your family and your neighbors. Together we can achieve success! Please make checks payable to Stone Valley Arts. 
P.O. Box 47 Poultney, VT 05764 

Actuaries estimate we will need 200 gifts to reach our goal: Five at $5,000, Ten at $2,000, Fifteen at $1,000, Twenty at $500, Thirty at $250, and 120 gifts of $100 or less. Please give at whatever level is comfortable for you. We appreciate every gift.
