If I understand, the database of names and address already exists. I’d like to do away with the form, construct a letter document that would capture the information from the form. The information can be repeated on the document/ letter allowing the donor to tear off a “voucher” and submit their donation. This can be folded when being sent out and put into the window envelope along with the other documents. </div><div>If nothing else, I think it would be good to open dialogue about improving our current process.</div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Cheri. <br><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Oct 17, 2022, at 4:01 PM, Deb Reed via CT-NFB <ct-nfb@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div>Hi everyone,</div><div>I am not sure whether or not we should make a motion regarding using some of the general fund for the technology grants as we previously discussed. Do we want to add to the amount given of $500, say to 750? Or do we just want to allow the current balance to be depleted and then fund it for the future? We know how expensive technology and training are and fundraising has been very difficult.</div><div><br><div dir="ltr"><br><div>Deborah J.
