Meredith’s Memo Recently, our of ce received an email from Kim Lambdin, a teacher who is bringing her students to the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum this spring to participate in our K-12 IKEducation program. This particular group of students will learn about the Holocaust and General Eisenhower’s instrumental role in liberating Ohrdruf concentration camp. I wanted to share it with you because she perfectly articulates why she brings her students. “I am so looking forward to this trip and all it has to offer our eighth graders. This is my 23rd eld trip to your establishment and I learn something each and every time about this incredible military leader and great President. As a mother of three soldiers, one of them chose the Army after visiting the museum. Your facility is an inspiration to many of our youth.” It is because of your donations that we are able to provide engaging and interactive programs that result in making a powerful impact on young people. Your continued support is vital to educating young people about Eisenhower’s leadership and public service. I invite you to join us once again as we embark on another year of impactful initiatives and positive change. Thank you for being an essential part of the Eisenhower Foundation’s success. Together, we can make 2024 a year of even greater achievements. Sincerely, Meredith Sleichter, Executive Director
