<div>Time is of the essence for Blau House &amp; Gardens—swift action is essential.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Urgency hangs in the air as we work tirelessly to safeguard this beloved property:

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Following Eileen Blau's passing in March 2023, Emily Blau and Robert Cohen are on a mission to save this cherished property. They've temporarily secured it from the Blau family estate and now invite you to play a vital role in this legacy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The house, which has undergone recent renovations, is presently being leased. This lease helps cover operational expenses while also facilitating limited public programs in the enchanting gardens. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support is key! Blau House &amp; Gardens (BH&amp;G) needs funding to acquire and maintain the property for the benefit of all. Join us in creating a thriving community hub—your contribution will transform this space into a haven for generations! #SaveBlauGardens
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To secure the future of the Blau House &amp; Gardens property, we require a total of $3 million to acquire two vital adjoining parcels in Westport's Coleytown section:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>$1.5 million for the Blau House and Gardens at #8 Bayberry Ridge Road
</li>
<li>$1 million for adjacent property at #5 Fairview Drive, for parking and support facilities
</li>
<li>$500,000 Establish an endowment for operations and maintenance over 5 years.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The immediate focus is on acquiring the #8 Bayberry Ridge property and gardens, requiring a minimum of $1.5 million.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While we've made strides with small grants from Connecticut Humanities for pilot programming, non-profit development, and operational expenses over the past two years, additional support is crucial.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Blau House has also been recognized by the Connecticut State Historic Preservation office, receiving a grant to finalize the nomination for inclusion on the state historic register. Despite these accomplishments, we operate without a dedicated staff on a volunteer basis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your contribution will not only help us meet the minimum funding requirement but will also ensure the preservation and flourishing of the Blau House &amp; Gardens for generations to come. Join us in this noble endeavor to safeguard a piece of history and create a lasting legacy in Westport.
