Dear Coalition Friends,

As 2008 comes to a close, please keep us in mind as you make end-of-year donations. Contributions can be made by credit card at our website.

Or by mail to:
National Coalition to Save Our Mall
P.O. Box 4709
Rockville, MD 20849

In early January, we'll be announcing availability of the latest edition of our free, enormously popular National Mall map/historical guide, out in time for the flood of visitors coming to Washington for the Inauguration. Besides updating this pocket-size guide, we are working on an update and upgrade of our digital map of the Mall and attractions--both older map versions are currently available on our website.

Our best wishes for a joyful and peaceful holiday season and Happy New Year!
