Hi Elizabeth,

Good points all. I have one question: Do you know the people who were on the 
final draft committee?

Hello List,

I just wanted to remind everyone that the Imagination Fund grant is due on 
September 1, 2010. This means that we have one week left to fill out the 
application. It seems as though there are a few good ideas floating around 
out there, but any final decisions on what they should be? As it turns out, 
we can apply for more than one grant, but it appears as though they all need 
the approval of the President in order to be considered by the grant 
committee.

So far, it looks as though the Youth Outreach, the state scholarship 
program, and Washington Seminar top out the favorites thus far. If we can 
apply for more than one grant, then why not write up a grant proposal for 
all three? I really don’t like to see us bicker back and forth about which 
program is the most deserving of a grant when all three are worthy causes 
within our organization.

The arguments for the youth outreach program and the student scholarship 
program have already been mentioned, but let me say a few words about 
Washington Seminar. February will be here before we know it, and our state 
treasury is currently low on funds. At this point in time, I can think of 
about five districts who will be electing someone new to represent their 
district. Since some of these new faces will be from districts where we do 
not have a lot of members, it will be important for us to establish a 
relationship with them during Washington Seminar.

But whatever we choose, we need to make a decision fast because we only have 
one more week to fill out the application for the grant. In the past, the 
deadline may have been September 15, but this year it is September 1. So let’s 
not pass up this wonderful opportunity to bring more funds into our state 
affiliate.

Elizabeth
