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

[Ramona Walhof]

I agree about recognition.  I prefer recognizing success.  Ideas are a dime 
a dozen, but there are some really interesting ones being considered and 
planned by affiliates.  Maine is planning to send their president to Jail 
and let those who call in vote to keep him home or let him go for training i 
think.  Could be a lot of fun, but may not be ready for publication.

I don't know what m1mt means.  An electronic newsletter might be excellent 
or a column in another one might  work.  We also might feature other 
benefits from some events.

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.
