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

[Ever Lee Hairston]

        I agree 100 percent.

Best,
Ever Lee Hairston
We must accept finite disappointment,
but never lose infinite hope.

>> 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.
