OUR PLEDGE FOR 2011In lieu of gifts we are giving time and

money to the following organizations:

The American Red Cross is where people mobilize to help their neighbors—across the street, across the

country, and across the world—in emergencies. Each year, in communities large and small, victims of some

70,000 disasters turn to neighbors familiar and new via the Red Cross. Through nearly 700 locally

supported chapters, more than 15 million people gain the skills they need to prepare for and respond to

emergencies in their homes, communities and world. Since its founding in 1881 by visionary leader Clara

Barton, the American Red Cross has been the nation's premiere emergency response organization.

H♥ART Gallery TN is a 501c3, not-for-profit entity, that offers homeless and other non-traditional

artists an opportunity to create and sell their artwork. Our extended mission is to supply art materials

and mentoring classes to other non-profit community organizations who can provide a space for their

clients to participate in art as therapy. Works that are deemed commercially viable will be sold through

the gallery at affordable prices. Money from art sales will be returned to the artist and the agency for

their benefit.

Townsend Atelier is committed to building the Chattanooga arts community by featuring classes in oil

painting, watercolor, drawing, patinas and finishes. Our company grew out of a deep passion for quality,

for art, for artists, and for offering materials not currently found on the market. With their thirty-

five years of combined experience in the art and materials fields, Townsend Atelier provides unique mold-

making products and professional expertise to customers across the globe.
