[nfbwatlk] Ideas for membership & fund raising

[Nfbnorthwest at aol.com]

Hello:
 
I have been giving this subject some thought and consideration. I have some 
 ideas on what we may be able to do on a chapter by chapter level in order 
to  help to help our affiliate  overall in regards to the challenge of fund  
raising and membership. Very challenging issues. 
 
I will be doing some things over the summer as soon as I get my computer  
repaired (hopefully next month); such as letter writing and just putting the  
word out to such organizations in the Bellingham area such as Wallmart, 
Target,  Marcy's, UPs,  Safeway, etc. and just asking about ways we can work  
together in order to raise awareness about the NFB and raise money. In other  
words testing the waters. I plan to go to the Lions as well. Perhaps if we 
can  do this one community or person at a time maybe we can get further. And 
the task  will not be so hard. 
 
I was also thinking about having a picnic or BBQ over the summer with some  
of the chapters chipping in for the expense so we can sponsor something fun 
for  the students before they return to school in the fall. Maybe the CFB 
would like  to join us on something for the students or anything else fun; as 
always they  are most welcome! 
 
If anyone has any suggestions for fun activities or anything or any  
feedback please contact me. This is an ongoing work on process. I have been in  
contact with Gary and Jedi and we are committed to bringing this affiliate  
forward. Please be patent and post your suggestions. 
 
Warmly:
