<p>Dear Friend:</p>
<p>I am thrilled to report back to you about the status of the Give Detroit Challenge we are participating in. Within just three days, since my previous email, the number of our patrons and the total amount of donations have more than doubled. <strong>You are making it happen! Thank you so much!</strong></p>
<p>The Give Detroit Challenge is on until November 12. If we place at the top of 50 foundations in the challenge, we win significant funds for our activity. We are now number eight, up four positions from three days ago – thanks to many of you. To be among the best three, and win one of the cash prizes, is within our reach – but we need <strong>everybody’s</strong> help. You know that our ultimate goal is to create a new program for the Detroit artists in Volterra: Artist in Residence. Can you help us? Can you too donate $10 to our project?</p>
<p>Every time I see the next name of a friend on the donor list it makes me, and all of us at the Volterra-Detroit Foundation, stronger. You inspire us. We are proud to have such friends. And we want each of you to be proud of what we accomplish together.</p>

<p>We also plan a special online event this weekend, as part of the Give Detroit Challenge. We will feature the film of the virtual reconstruction of the Roman Theater in Volterra. It has never been shown online before, and will be available for two days only, from Saturday October 17 8:00 am (US Eastern Time) until Sunday, October 18 11:00 pm. The work shown in the film is a result of over a year of historical research and computer modeling. It was presented at the exhibition in Volterra in June 2009. Now you will have a chance to view it. Don’t miss it!</p>
<p>Once again, great thanks to all of you who support us in the Give Detroit Challenge:</p>
