[il-talk] the secret is to ask

Dave,
  You are so right, if we don't ask  our friends, family and people we do 
business with to help us raise necessary funds for our beloved Federation, 
who will?

                    Cathy

I know that for many of us, the question that presents a permanent puzzle is
"How might I fundraise?"  Well, I think I found at least a partial answer
this morning and believe it or not, that answer consists of a single three
letter word, (ask.)



I actually tried that a couple of times to acquaintances I have not talked
to in awhile.  In one case, the person is reasonably sure he can pick up
dinner for himself and his wife when we fundraise at Beggars.  In the other
case, the person cannot attend but he asked some questions about what we do
and it sounds like he is planning to make a donation.



So, I invite you to try it.  You just might like what happens.
