Circle of Friends 2010

You are invited to join the Foxfire Museum Circle of Friends.

From the small family home represented by the Savannah House, just above the gift shop, to the lofty Chapel at the peak of the Museum grounds, Foxfire students arrayed many facets of early Appalachian life on this mountainside in an attempt to remember the ways of old and preserve the feel of a small pioneer community. Any small community depends on the contributions of each and every one of its members in order to survive and thrive. Through your interest in Foxfire and visits to the Museum, you have established yourself as a member of the Foxfire “community.” As often happens, though, sometimes a community needs a little more, and asks folks for additional help—as Foxfire does with this donation campaign. It is always understood that not everyone in the community has the same amount of time or resources to offer, but by simply being a part of our community, you have already contributed your goodwill—the most important gift of all. However, if you would like to contribute something extra to help maintain the Museum, the “center” of our community, please consider joining our Circle of Friends. Our membership classes reflect the spirit of community, following the Museum’s tour trail up the mountain and highlighting different facets of Appalachian life—and accepting, without question, that no matter what level of contribution you are able to make, you belong to the Foxfire community, and we offer our heartfelt thanks for your support of our students and their efforts to preserve this unique American culture for the generations to come.

Joining the Circle of Friends entitles you to a small appreciation gift from Foxfire, given in thanks for your support. Please download the 2010 Circle of Friends newsletter to see what has been happening at the Museum this year, and for details on this year's appreciation gifts.
