Donations by “Heinlein’s Children” towards the creation and placing of a bronze bust of Robert A. Heinlein in the Missouri State Capitol building have reached $2,500. This number is before accounting for the dollar-for-dollar matching offered by the Heinlein Prize Trust (www.heinleinprize.com).<\/p>\n
Between the two, we’ve reached $5,000 of the $14,000 fund raising goal for the bust, plaque, display column, and event costs (hey, we gotta at least buy some cupcakes or something for the unveiling!).<\/p>\n
So, folks, we’re 35% of the way there! Another $4,500 from Heinlein’s Children, plus the Heinlein Prize Trust matching will complete the journey. Won’t you consider helping us reach the goal by making a donation to this worthy cause? A bronze bust for the ages of RAH in his home state capitol building, close to a similar one for Mark Twain (one of his heroes). We think that’s a great idea, and hope you’ll help us make it a reality.<\/p>\n
There are three ways to donate. There are two “Donate” Paypal buttons on our website, either of which will allow you to make a dedicated (to this cause and no other) contribution. You don’t need to have a Paypal account, nor sign up for one, in order to use these buttons. If you don’t have a Paypal account, they will allow you to just use a regular credit card. Or, you can send a check to The Heinlein Society, 3553 Atlantic Ave, #351, Long Beach, CA, 90807-5606 and designate “Heinlein Bust” in the memo field.<\/p>\n
We have previously announced that we will reach the goal by Dec. 31st, 2016, or return all the donated monies to contributors. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
