<https://aaoo.wildapricot.org/resources/Pictures/Giving%20Tuesday%202022%20graphic%201%20(banner).jpg> November 29, 2022 Dear AAO Members, Last week we told you about <https://givingtuesday.ca> GivingTuesday, and today is the day! If you have been eagerly awaiting today to click on that “Donate” button, don’t let us stop you - scroll on down! If you’re still not convinced, stop for a second and think about all the things the AAO does, and specifically how you have interacted with the AAO over the course of your career. Donating to the AAO means you’re investing in Ontario’s cultural and documentary heritage, and making sure archives and records professionals have the resources and educational opportunities to stay current and connected. Here’s how: * the AAO relies on donations to fund some of its core programming, such as the administration of Archeion or the publication of Off the Record * things like our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (EDI) workshops are able to be offered to members for free because of donor support * the Shirley Spragge Bursary, crucial to ensuring students and new archivists can take part in the annual conference without undue financial burden, would not have the impact and effect it has had without the generosity of our membership We’re hoping that, this year, we can get as many AAO members as possible to donate just $5. It’s not a lot individually, but collectively it would make a big difference. If you are able, consider chipping in a little more - all donations over $20 qualify for a tax receipt. <https://aao-archivists.ca/Donate> DONATE If you’re unable to financially contribute at this time, think about volunteering for one of our many committees! We’re always looking for volunteers, and there’s more than one way to mark GivingTuesday. <https://aao-archivists.ca/committees> VOLUNTEER Thank you for taking the time to read this e-mail and giving our call to action some thought. The archives community across this province is strong, but with your support, it can be all that much stronger. We hope you all have an inspiring and generous GivingTuesday!
