Surratt House Restoration

[L Verge]

Jim - I just want to add that Surratt House has been successful for several reasons: 1) We have much-needed financial support from a tax-based government agency which owns us. 2) We have an outstanding group of volunteers (currently about 50), who love the history and continue to study it. 3) I do have a great staff to work with, and 4) We have over 1500 associate members around the world (nearly every state, Canada, England, Belgium, Czech Republic, Australia) who give us financial and moral support.

I think we are one of the best examples of government and community working together that you could ask for.
