[Cash-and-caring] committee or network and more

[JMassay]

Ramona, 
I thought we were going to continue contact throughout the year.
Hmmm...that's what I get for thinking! 
I feel that we should provide some mentorship with regard to fund raising
efforts in some way. However, I think that adding too many more members to
our committee  will make us less effective and a little unwieldy. 
I think that we can ask state affiliate leaders who the respective fund
Raising chairs are for their affiliate and compile bi-monthly or quarterly
updates to the tool kits. We could also add in information and updates about
fund raising success stories from across the organization. This way, the
information could be inserted into the tool Kits and they will keep growing
and bringing in money. 
Another question I had was if we will be addressing, specifically, how much
of a chapter fund raiser or an affiliate fund raiser would be an appropriate
contribution to national? 
Lastly, can we plan on some type of recognition for the successful fund
raising chapters and affiliates? This could be done at national convention
each year. 
That's all for now, my apologies for the long e-mail.

Committee members:  I am getting requests from people throughout the country
about continued contact after the Washington Seminar.  I am wondering if we
should add to the committee or establish some kind of network to be larger
than the committee but to be used for circulating information.  Especially,
we would ask those who have good events to share their experiences.  We
could use this list for that.  Conference calls probably work best if they
don't get too large.  Any input is welcome. When a state or chapter wants
some support and input as they plan an event, I think we should assign a
member with relevant experience to sort of advise or mentor that chapter or
state.  Any comments?

I am sure there will be other things, such as how the quiz works, that some
will want to know about.  Anil and Carl J. have been talking about a
national walk-a-thon, and we will hear a little about that in Washington, I
think.  I learned this morning that Carl had heart by-pass surgery last
Saturday.  I understand that all is going as well as can be expected, but it
is serious surgery.  He is still in the hospital,  and he will not be in
Washington.
