Dear Friends,
We hope you are well and enjoying this amazing Spring. Here at Castle Hill we are getting ready for the Sixth International Encaustic Conference and we are preparing for what is going to be an incredible summer season.
Also, we are moving along with the Campaign for Castle Hill to take advantage of the opportunity to expand and to consolidate our campus by purchasing the adjacent property at 12 Meetinghouse Road.
Two weeks ago we held an event at the National Arts Club in New York, where we gave an update on the Campaign for Castle Hill. The Campaign is well on its way to our $850,000 goal with over a half million dollars raised! On May 10th we will be hosting "Castle Hill Comes to Boston" (see details below,) another opportunity to share news of our progress and expand our reach. The journey has been nothing short of extraordinary.
We announced in New York, and will do so again in Boston, that two generous donors together have created a $40,000 challenge to be met by July 1st. A $40,000 campaign challenge seems a fitting way in which to finish up our 40th anniversary year!
We hope that you, as a member of the Castle Hill community, will make a gift of a size that is meaningful to you. Your gift will be doubled and will help to ensure that we will be able to complete the Campaign in a timely manner and realize our dream of a consolidated campus that meets our growing needs.

Please make a generous gift to the Campaign for Castle Hill. You can be assured we will put these financial resources to great work.
Sincerely yours,
| Cherie Mittenthal Executive Director | Kim Kettler Board President |
