<DIV><SPAN class=497302322-31012014><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>Just
checking because I was hoping we might build a little more "outside" of our
members to gain funding. I have been attending some events that serve meals to
raise money and they been about 50-60 percent members and the rest is the public
that has no affiliation with the group but attend the event (and thus bring in
outside money).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=497302322-31012014><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>Here
are a couple of ideas:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=497302322-31012014><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>-Make
sure it is in the paper several times for at least two weeks in advance of the
date so people can make plans, and especially on the day of the event (the paper
should have a calendar or list of events column)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=497302322-31012014><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>-Try
to get a reporter to cover the event.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=497302322-31012014><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>-Post
to our FB page and encourage people to share it on their own timelines (one a
week until the week of the event, probably three times the week of the
event).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=497302322-31012014><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>-Find
local churches that have newsletters and ask if they would share the information
with their members, and emphasize how we help the blind and this is fund raising
to continue that mission.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=497302322-31012014><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>There
were a couple of other ideas but I forgot them already.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Hello! I would like to add, that we have always invited and encouraged
the general public to attend. Melanies media campaign is nothing new for this
event. This is always been a great way to involve extended family and friend
and get them involved in our efforts.</DIV>
<DIV>Thank you.<BR><BR>Have a great day</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">We are absolutely inviting
the general public. In fact, we are currently planning a social media and
publicity campaign to spread the word far and wide. We welcome your
suggestions and please feel free to invite anyone you’d like. As in the
past, the cost is $5, which includes a bowl of chili, soft drink, crackers,
and a dessert. The dinner starts at 4 and the auction starts at 5. Typically
we are finished by 9pm. I hope we’ll see you there!<O:P></O:P></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>Greetings fellow Federationists!<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I hope this message finds you all well and that your
weekend is kicking off to a good start. I’m writing once again to ask for
your help to obtain items for our annual fundraising auction. This is by
far our largest fundraiser and in years past we have brought in over
$3000.00! Let’s not let 2014 be the year we fall short. As with many
initiatives it takes teamwork to make the event so successful. To that end
I need all Louisville members (and our extended Federation family too if
you’d like!) to roll up your sleeves and start bringing in those auction
items. The NFBGL board of directors can’t do this alone, we need your
help. Please find attached the 2014 NFBGL Auction Donation Request letter.
Please save it to your computer and either email it or print it and
deliver it to anyone whom you feel may be interested in donating to our
auction. No items are too small. Often we can bundle several small things
to make a really nice package. Gift cards are good, as well as those
unused holiday gifts that you know you’ll never use, but don’t want to
send back. As always, if you have any questions please feel free to email
or call me directly. My phone number is 502-262-1403. Thanks in advance
for your hard work!<O:P></O:P></P>
