We may have to do some of this by sub-committees. I want to make sure our
first three projects get the follow-up necessary for best results. We can
add to the committee, but it will be hard to have meetings with much discussions
by phone. But we will try to get to your idea. You will remember
that it was much discussed at the last convention. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I think Richey is spot on. We need to set goals for each year and try to
get the membership involved as much as possible. </DIV>
<DIV>I also envision this group coming up with new innovative fundraising
strategies that have never been tried before, like the quiz. </DIV>
<DIV>The idea that I wish to discuss in detail on Sunday is tasting
wine/beer/different unique foods in the dark. </DIV>
<DIV>Affiliates could put on events like this with our help to design them.
NFB literature would be distributed and discussed at the event. This way, we
have a greater chance of pulling in outside donors... </DIV>
<DIV>Tickets would be sold at a cost set by each entity doing the event. Any
tasting could be accompanied by auctions, raffles, etc. </DIV>
<DIV>These are my thoughts that I wish to discuss with all of you on Sunday.

more donations. Can we determine how many of the e-mails we already have in

website makes it very clear it is being run by the National Federation of the
Blind. The profile is even called NFB Fundraising—in case someone was under
the misconception that this was simply just public outreach and awareness. So,
what does “internally” mean. Although my quick note was more to understand
what the plan was, I did mention the newsletter as one possibility. I think
the key however is ultimately getting this data set to be part of the NFB’s
unified database “internally.” It may mean that this data is identified in a
particular way. However, we should be examining this data to understand what
impact the survey has had. For example, how many of these email addresses are
already in our system? If it is only 10% we have done a fabulous job of
connecting new contacts with our organization. If it is 90%, we know we have a
better job to do. However, that also gives us data that we can use.

style="COLOR: black">Currently, when one takes the quiz, it says the email
address "will be kept confidential". This expression is subject to
interpretation. But when I see that expression on a website before
deciding to give my email address, I expect that my email address will only be
held internally.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

tend to agree with Loraine. However, we could change the wording on the

this question... what is happening with the info for the people taking the
quiz—email addresses? If we add that list to our enewsletter we might
convert some in the longer run to donors.<BR>><BR>> Mark<BR>> Sent
