It is that time of year, maximizing deductions for Uncle Sam. If it has been a good year for you consider donating to CERF: Craft Emergency Relief Fund. Read below for CERF's annual appeal and news:
We invite you to look at our Yearbook 2008, which is a sampling of the artists we assisted this past year. Not only for these artists but for all of us, 2008 has been a roller coaster ride. An historic presidential election, which has inspired great hope and a fresh start. A global financial crisis, which has created much uncertainty and concern. And a new year rolling in with a mix of anxiety, hope, and promise.
In this atmosphere of uncertainty, two things remain constant. The first is that craft artists will continue to create tangible objects that are beautiful and inspired. The second constant is that some of those artists will face career-threatening emergencies that will challenge their ability to continue creating the objects we value.
Please consider a donation so that CERF can continue to assist artists in 2009 as we have in 2008 and over the last 23 years. Help us keep temporary setbacks for artists from turning into permanent silence.

Many thanks for your support. Happy Holidays from all of us at CERF!
