Subject: [Chapter-presidents] help us PAC for Convention

Greetings everyone, hmmm, it is late June; the thermometer keeps rising;
kids are out of school.  Well, it must be time for our Annual Convention,
and I need your help to PAC appropriately.

As we all know, the Pre-authorized Contribution  program is a key component
in our fundraising portfolio.  I have shared below our current PAC
standings.  Many will note that our projected annualized total is
substantially lower than it was at this time last year.  However, this does
not mean we have suffered a major setback to the program.  Many of you may
know that we changed our accounting system in Baltimore within the last
year.  In so doing, we discovered that PAC pledges were not being courted
and reported properly.  For example, people's pledges were sstill being
counted for several months even though they had left the program.  Now,
everything is accurate and pretty much up to date instantaneously.

Here is how I can use your help at Convention.  As you know, we run various
contests throughout  the sessions and those help get people back to the PAC
table.  People absolutely love the swag and little gifts we can give away.
In the past few years, affiliates and chapters have donated items from their
fundraisers so that we can offer them as incentives to folks.  For example,
people love Hawaii's Kona coffee or     Nebraska's popcorn balls or Iowa
scissors, etc.  So, whenthe General Sessions begin on July 6, please bring
items back to the PAC Table.

Back to the PAC figures for a moment, our current annualized total is a
little over $474,000.  I bet you can anticipate my main objective for the
Program while at Convention.  Yes, I would like to drive the annualized
figure over $500,000, and once we do, we will know with confidence that we
are truly over 500 K.  By the way, we will be entering people's pledges into
the system while we are at Convention.  This means there won't be the long
delays between the time of someone's new pledge or increase and when it
actually starts coming out of a person's account.

I thank you in advance for your help and I look forward to seeing many of
you in Orlando!!

Pacfully yours,

Scott
