Dear Prospective Sponsor/Patron:
As you may be aware, the Southern
Lancaster County Historical Society, Inc., was formed in 1970 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to:
- research local history and ancestry;
- educate members
and the public about the significance of Southern Lancaster County;
- preserve and maintain historical documents, records and artifacts of our local heritage so that these treasures are not lost to future generations; and
- preserve, maintain and provide tours of the
Robert Fulton Birthplace, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966 as well as other historic buildings on the
Birthplace property.
To cover our expenses to fulfill our mission, we rely on several annual fundraisers, including our annual House and History Tour (our most popular and profitable fundraising activity), that enable the Society to preserve our community's proud history including the preservation and maintenance of the Robert Fulton Birthplace, Granary and Archives Buildings without any State or Federal financial support or funding.
In 2016 we will be holding our 7th Annual House and History Tour on Saturday, June 4th from 10:00
a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This year the tour will be
focusing on Little Britain Township, Southern Lancaster County and West Nottingham Township, Chester County. On average,
approximately 200 people participate in the tour which exposes your business to a variety of new prospective customers.
This year we are offering four levels of sponsorship and the opportunity to become a Patron of the Society. Note
that tour tickets, valued at $18
each, make excellent employee recognition awards or
gifts. The Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and we will provide you with a receipt to be used for tax purposes.
