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

[Riccobono, Mark]

To further add to Jeannie's good thoughts... the committee might offer some annual reward to affiliates or chapters for innovative fundraising ideas & events. The idea of a fundraising chair for every affiliate is great. those could be the core of people with access to the Wiki. Also, for a little while we were putting together the NFB in the Community Newsletter—this was m1nt to be a regular communication around outreach & fundraising. This committee & someone from our NFBJI outreach team could work together to make this another product of the committee.
