Dear Friends of Corliss,
On this, Giving Tuesday, I write to ask your continuing financial support for The Corliss Center. As we all struggle to understand the shifting forces of change which create unsettling situations, from Rhode Island to Washington, DC, and around the globe, meeting the needs of our members continues to challenge the dedicated staff at this agency. Your support is a boost to both our fiscal posture as well as our staff morale and is greatly appreciated.
Our Corliss.org website has been refreshed and updated and we invite you to visit the site to hear about the agency from our Executive Director, Rick Clarkson, and get a glimpse of our residential facilities and members.
The website is now prepared to receive online contributions, but we also continue to welcome traditional checks sent to the address below. As an additional incentive, the Board has pledged to match gifts received in the month of December, up to $10,000. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to increase the impact of your gift!
Thank you for your support in the past, and best wishes for a healthy and peaceful holiday season this year.
With gratitude,
Fred Rockefeller, Jr.
President of the Corliss Board of Directors
The Corliss Center
290 Main Street, Warren, RI 02885
