I’m checking in because your discounted Spring Member Drive rate expires tonight, and I don't want you to miss it. With rates as low as $65 and discounts up to nearly 30%, it's a fantastic time to activate your membership!
People like you from all across the country who have stepped up to support the Smithsonian know that the Smithsonian works best when we all pitch in to help tell the story of our past, give context to our present, and pioneer our future.
But I'll let you in on a secret—they also know that the opportunity to be part of the world's largest museum, education, and research complex at these discounted rates is too good to pass up, because it means you save anywhere from $15 to $250 and still get to enjoy all the exciting benefits!
I hope I'll get the privilege of welcoming you to the Friends of the Smithsonian soon and showing you firsthand what you'll make possible.
Sincerely,
John Perell
Director, Friends of the Smithsonian

Dear Friend,
We were just putting together a report on our Spring Member Drive and we don't see your name on the list.
Right now is the best time to join Friends of the Smithsonian, the committed core of supporters who understand and believe in the Smithsonian's critical mission to share knowledge with the world—and who also receive special access to some incredible member benefits.
Why? Because your special Spring Member Drive discount ends tomorrow at midnight! You can unlock your membership for just $65 (saving $15), choose Archivist at $125 (our deepest discount at nearly 30% off), or select a higher level (with savings up to $250). Don't wait: claim your discount before it's gone!
As we move toward the nation’s 250th anniversary, it’s an extraordinary moment to be part of the Smithsonian’s story. When you join Friends of the Smithsonian at your discounted rate,you’ll help advance groundbreaking research, protect America’s treasures, and open doors for millions of visitors each year.
Thank you for all you do to help preserve and expand the Smithsonian legacy—and for helping to share a love of learning with everyone, everywhere.
