Save the NCNW Headquarters
**COMPLIMENTS OF ESSENCE MAGAZINE, March 2002**
This month celebrate Dorothy Height and the National Council of Negro Women. An apprentice to Mary McLeod Bethune, Height assumed leadership of NCNW in 1958. She is now board chairman and president emeritus of the organization that represents more than 4, 000, 000 AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN -- including you.
March 24 is HEIGHT'S 90TH BIRTHDAY!! Hundreds of her supporters will join her on MARCH 20 for UNCOMMON HEIGHT, a birthday gala and fundraiser. Proceeds will help "BURN" the mortgage on NCNW's headquarters building at 633 Pennsylvania Avenue, the only one representing AFRICAN AMERICANS on Washington, D.C.'s "policy row." Height had the vision to acquire the building, now valued at $30 million, in 1996. The NCNW must raise $5.1 million to own it outright.
Join the celebration by sending a birthday gift of $90 (a dollar for each year of HEIGHT'S life) or more.
Send donations to:
NCNW, BURN THE MORTGAGE,
633 PENNSYLVANIA AVE., N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20034
