[Cash-and-caring] convention activities

[JMassay]

Does anyone know of affiliates who sent out mailings to Attorneys who do
Estate Planning? I asked about it on the State Leaders list. I want to say
that whomever I had spoken to about it indicated that it was a fruitful
effort. Any idea which affiliates are doing this? 

I agree with the plan for convention. What decisions have been made as to
how to communicate this information to the affiliates and/ or chapters? Are
we going to do our own newsletter? 

I do think we need to consider an organizational effort. We need to go after
outside donors. A national whatever-a-thon  would allow opportunity for
corporate donors and advertising where we would be able to make a large
impact.

We have a meeting/program planned for Friday at lunchtime.  I think we
should have some general discussion and hear from Parnell Diggs.  I think
Richie should talk some about grants.  Does anyone else have suggestions
that should be included in a one-hour program?  Jean Brown, I will want to
hear about your walk-a-thons.  Hoby, I still need to talk with you about
wine tasting.

If anybody else knows of an event not yet included in our Toolkit that has
already raised 5000 dollars or more, please bring it to our attention.

Do you think we should work toward coordinated walk-a-thons or bike rides? I
believe that Anil is not now going to take this on.

Have any of you had requests to advise other chapters or affiliates?  I have
been asked to talk with a chapter in Indiana, and I already joined a
conference call in Montana.  This is what we are for.

I am still receiving requests for the Toolkit.  Richie, are you also? I
think we are going to include the list of services from the Jernigan
Institute in our newsletter.  Others may want to do this or something
similar. This information was requested at our state convention this
weekend.  We had three brand new members, and I wish I had taken it with me.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Ramona
