If you have not yet made a pledge, now is your final opportunity! Through your generosity and commitment to Mu, we have raised $2,052,898 toward this historic effort. A huge amount of thanks goes to each alumnus and friend who contributed financially to the campaign, particularly those who increased their gift from the amount they initially pledged and those who gave at the donor plaque recognition level of $5,000 or more. The end of our campaign comes just as we begin renovation work on the Temple. In 2018, we plan to realign the driveway, waterproof and repair the foundation, construct the rear addition shell and exterior, and install new underground water, gas, electric, and sewer services to the building. In 2019, we will add a new fence, gates, and refurbish the interior of the building, while also completing exterior masonry work critical to the restoration and preservation of the Temple library. New HVAC systems and security features with remote/wireless controls will also be installed. In order to place Mu of DKE in a strong position financially, and to tackle these projects, we must raise as much as possible by our campaign deadline of June 1. You can help the campaign and show that Mu matters to you by contributing in one of the following ways: • Make a new or additional one-time contribution, • Extend the gift you have already made by adding a sixth year to your pledge schedule, or • Accelerate your payment schedule and submit your next payment before campaign-end. How you respond now will play a crucial role in ending our campaign successfully and ensuring a future for our brotherhood worthy of our past. With the campaign coming to a close, this is your final opportunity to have a hand in this historic restoration of the Temple. Please use the enclosed pledge form to make your gift today or donate online at mudke.org. In the Bonds, Barry Ridings '74 Campaign Chairman Sean F.
