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

[Ramona Walhof]

Mark, you have to teach me first.  I am willing to learn, but don't know 
anybody around here to get it from.  There may be others like me.  I am 
willing too do it, but not without the chair.

>> 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.
