I <3 {heart} ephemera! Objects that aren’t intended or expected to survive over the course of time, and yet do, hold a certain allure.

CARLI Budget Reduction Beginning July 1, 2015
While there is no final information available about the state budget at this time, CARLI was directed to model a 20% permanent budget reduction in operating expenses beginning July 1, 2015.

For me the collection has a sort of charming quirkiness -- a presentation of the evolution of graphic design and fund-raising prose and missionary priorities all wrapped up in tiny little bite-sized packages.
