Dear Relatives and Friends,
The Foundation has been in existence for 8 years. This annual report shows Gallery Activity from September 1993 through the Spring of 2001. Over 484 students representing 16 schools have received Awards and framed Certificates. The most significant event in the history of the Foundation occurred in December 1999. Morrey and Peter Plotkin transferred their interest in a 28 unit apartment building to the Foundation. This virtually assures the required financial support in perpetuity. To date, over $166,988.00 in awards have been given and it has cost $135,719.00 (2001 unusual expenses: new roof $9,000.00 and street resurface $2,168.00) to maintain the facility. Dr. Jan Wyma is now the Consultant & Coordinator for Gallery events.
