Jeff:
Margaret Skidmore has already floated the idea by shell and will make a pitch on the 29th. we will have to see what comes of it. Everyone loves the desk - it is just trying to come up with the money. I will keep trying to reach the Zilkhas before I leave in the morning or if not then I will talk with them when I get back. Keep thinking good thoughts! Happy Thanksgiving, cindi ps - I am having the Bel Geddes cocktail service sent down on approval for our december meeting. < -----Original Message----- < From: Jeffrey.A.Shankman@enron.com [SMTP:Jeffrey.A.Shankman@enron.com] < Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 11:56 AM < To: CStrauss@mfah.org < Subject: RE: Majorelle Orchid desk fundraising < < Hi Cindi, < < Bummer on the Adlers and the Wolffs.

Cyvia said that they were quite < torn < because it made sense due to their furniture connections and how < important < the desk is but ultimately they want their fund to grow into something < and < if they dedicate it to the desk there will be nothing left. < < I am still trying to reach Nina and Michael. < < Margaret Skidmore is meeting with Susan Borches from Shell on the 28th < so we < may get a sense there.
