Interlochen Center for the Arts O Interlochen Memorandum To: ein From: Interlochen Center for the Arts Re: c o ars ip Lodge Information Date: 8/26/93 I have instructed Town and Country Log Homes to send you the blueprints for the proposed scholarship lodges we anticipate building on campus. Karen Sargent, a noted architect and Interlochen Alumni from New Jersey, is in the process of modifying the plans to incorporate wheel chair and handicap accessibility. She will forward the plans to me upon completion. The basic plan for one-half of the lodge is priced in the neighborhood of $125,000 to $150,000, depending on the options selected. Karen is also working on the cost for modifying the structure. I will send them on to you upon my return from Colorado in mid-September. I have spoken with Dean Boal and our Buildings and Grounds Director. We believe the area next to Frohlich lodge is the optimal spot for placement due to its location on the water and accessibility for handicapped vehicles in the winter. If you are interested in proceeding with the concept, I will be happy to send a formal proposal upon my return. All is well here, but a bit muggy.

Epstein and Company, Inc. The Villard House 457 Madison Avenue New York, NY 10022 Dear Jeffrey: I have talked to you and Ghislaine on several occasions to say thank you. But, I wanted to express in writing my personal and professional gratitude for the very generous gift $20 0 for a new scholarship lodge. It is truly an extraordinary sture. I thought an update would be appropriate at this time. 1. The contract with Town and Country has been executed and they have scheduled construction of the lodge. 2. We are waiting for the temperature to rise above 10-15 degrees so that we can move the existing buildings and set the foundation. (The June target date remains at this time.) Design and construction of the exterior walls is underway. 3. You have approved the latest set of drawings with the basement entrance as indicated and approved the green roof which works for us as well. 4. We are requesting furniture packages from local vendors that will be both aesthetic and functional for a rental lodge. When we receive the packages and corresponding quotes, we will send them on to Ghislaine for her comments and suggestions. 5. We anticipate setting aside all lodge income in the 1994 Camp season and placing the net income in an endowment fund so that subsequent repairs, maintenance and furniture replacement are funded through the endowment. All succeeding income will be placed into the Jeffrey Epstein Scholarship Mierlochen .flits Academy huerlochen Arts Camp Mtedochen Public Radio 88.7 FM: 100.9 FM Address: Mier/octet; Center inr the Arts PO.

If you would like to met the students, we will help arrange a meeting on campus as well. 6. At present we are calling the lodge the "Jeffrey E. Epstein Scholarship Lodge." If you would like it named in another manner, please contact me with the appropriate name or wording. 7. Under the charitable contribution act, you are permitted use of the lodge for two weeks each year, without any negative implications in respect to the full tax deductibility of your gift. Naturally, we would like you to visit the new lodge this summer. So that we might begin to book the lodge, I would ask you to consider what two weeks you would like reserved for your use. Perlman will be giving his concert on August 7, 1994. I have enclosed the appropriate tax code for your file. We have much to discuss as we move towards completion, but I thought this might be helpful. Jeffrey, we really appreciate all that you do for Interlochen. Somehow thank you seems inadequate for your continued commitment and generosity. We are most grateful.

It all began with our first meeting at the Villard House. Dr. Tuckerman's recent endowed gift in your honor speaks to your support and commitment to Interlochen. Last year we built the Epstein Lodge, interlochen's first scholarship lodge in many years. It is our premier guest accommodation and the first handicapped accessible facility. Most recently you gave our strong endorsement of Interlochen to the family as the investigated the Academy offerings for t eir daughter, You have done much in the name of Interlochen. We thank you.

Your gift is the motivation or at Interlochen, because it is the springboard for the many things that are happening here. As we've already shared with you, we are in great need of assistance this year, since the World Youth Symphony Orchestra will be traveling to Atlanta to perform in Symphony Hall on July 21 as a part of the opening weekend celebration in the Cultural Olympiad. Your gift will help provide support for this project. THANK YOU! Another piece of good news--Interlochen has been announced as one of the "10 Best Camps in America" as published in the March/April edition of Family Life magazine. The Today Show on NBC expects to air a piece on the 10 best camps, with emphasis on choosing the correct one, what to consider, and what to expect. And, Interlochen will be included. So, the tradition of nurturing young talent to its fullest potential goes on... Again, thank you for your generosity in selecting Interlochen as the recipient of your philanthropic endeavors.

This year, we have added 2 new programs: we will now offer a creative writing program and a chamber music program.

Your gift allows students to explore their potential as musicians, artists, and actors. Equipping students with the "Interlochen experience" provides self-discovery through self-discipline and challenge. As you well know, camp is an intense, emotional 8 weeks for students. But, it is wonderful to listen as row after row of tiny practice rooms vibrate with the sounds of instrumentalists warming up in preparation of the day's audition, performance, or weekly challenge. It is our hope that as campers go home they will carry a little piece of Interlochen back to their communities with them. Jeffrey, let me give my personal and professional thanks for all you do here at- Interlochen. Your caring and thoughtful input in preserving Interlochen's physical environment is very much appreciated. The remaining amount of your gift will be directed to the Annual Fund. Thank you.

The generosity of you and fellow donors enables us to offer artistic and academic opportunities to students from all nations, backgrounds, and cultural heritage. The final camper concert, "Les Preludes," marks the conclusion of our 69th summer camp season. During the summer, over 1,800 campers participated in 4 and 8-week sessions with scholarship support totaling more than $800,000. Over 500 events during the 1996 Summer Arts Festival brought thousands of visitors to the campus. Just a few of the outstanding student performances during August include the high-schoolers' presentation of the operetta "Princess Ida" and the intermediate students' presentation of "Romeo and Juliet." During the second weekend of August, concerto winners are recognized for their achievements by performing solos with the World Youth Symphony Orchestra. As you may have heard, WYSO was an outstanding representation for Interlochen at the Olympics through their highly-praised performance in Atlanta's Symphony Hall on July 21.
