<P class=MsoNormal>The group that met as the Cash and Caring Network this summer
at the convention said firmly that it wanted a listserve for
communication. I have not done much with it because my computer was not
working well. But that is behind me, I hope, so let's move ahead.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Committee members, be prepared to help answer questions and
work with new people. Thank you very much! <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>We would like to have at least one member from each affiliate
on this network. If several chapters in a state want to have participants,
that is fine. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>If anyone has not received the Toolkit, please let me know,
and I will email it to you. It includes, among other things,
examples of severl fundraising activities that have raised several thousand
dollars with one event. It also shows how to use state conventions to raise
money, not just from our members, but also from the public. Our conventions are
usually well-run events which impress people, and they should have a fundraising
component. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Chapters and state affiliates need money, but that money will
not accomplish much if we don't have more in the national treasury.
Therefore, we want to raise enough that chapters can share with states and the
national treasury. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>What do we want on the list? Questions, of course, are
appropriate, and answers are essential, but we don't need a lot of repetition in
answers. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Please share your successful fundraising experiences. Tell us
what you did, what made it good, and how much you raised. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>We want to help chapters and states increase the size and
income of fundraisers. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Bob Sellers of Washington State and Parmie Similton
from Alabama are going to help with this list. Thanks to both of you.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>So let's learn from each other. I am looking forward to
it! <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
