Donations and Membership
|
We
have received donations from many cricketers and their families,
including original team scorebooks, pictures, blazers, ties, etc.
The library is always interested in new material, from a single
item to a large collection. As a non-profit, charitable organization,
donations may be tax deductible up to the full current value of
the item(s) being donated for US taxpayers. The C.C. Morris Library
is a unique source of information about the history of cricket and
the individuals who played the sport. The library currently provides
a wide range of materials to the serious researcher and friends
of the sport. Every contribution allows us to expand our mission.
Financial donations would be most appreciated and are tax deductible in the USA. We suggest you become a member of the organization. For as little as $25 per year (if you are under 25 - request a Wicket Keeper Membership for only $10), you will receive our Quarterly News Letter and invitations to our two member receptions during the year. There is also a special membership for Clubs for a minimum contribution of $50. Clubs will receive full membership privileges for their members and one copy of each News Letter. Please mail your donation or membership request to the Library at the address at the top of this page. Basic membership covers only the costs of producing and mailing the newletters and the two receptions at the library. More generous contributions will allow us to expand our hours and activities. The organization has a long list of projects we would like to take on but are currently unable to do so due to financial limitations. Every membership and contribution helps. Recent (and ongoing) activities by the library members include demonstrating cricket at local school systems, setting up a loaner program for our Quick Cricket set to regional athletic departments, sponsoring a cricket match at Valley Forge National Park, setting up a national database of cricket clubs, and establishing the Comfort Award for the person whose activity on and off the field most exemplify the cricketing tradition. |
