[Cash-and-caring] Fw: Cash and Caring Committee meeting

Fri Mar 22 23:53:56 UTC 2013

I do believe that Richie is the President of the Austin Chapter. Also, we
might ask the NABS Fund Raising Committee about getting items donated for
their NABS Café they recently held at Washington Seminar. I think that Gabe
Cazares was the committee Chair. They raised $6,000 last year and I an
uncertain as to how much they raised this year. In case you are unfamiliar,
the NABS Café , in part, was a silent auction, sort of...

Jeanny, as we get closer to convention, we will hafve to figure out who can
do the name-taking.

It is a good idea to ask the chapter list about good fundraisers.  We should
tell them we want those that have raised several thousand dollars.  Ideas
for other things may be good, but there is nothing like success. I am pretty

sure we will get a new one from Parnell.  I just have to bug him.   I am not

on the chapter list.  Are you?  If you send something out, please copy me. 
If you are not on that list, I will bug somebody else. If there gets to be
discussion about fundraising on that list one of the Committee members will
need to monitor it.  I will do it if I need to, but I am sure there are
others who can.  Richie may be President of the Austin chapter. Do you know?

There, I just copied him on this.
