[nfbwatlk] Fund Raising & Membership

[Nfbnorthwest at aol.com]

This is my second posting. All of us should give this subject some thought  
and some time. It's very important. Please let's have a dialogue about 
this. 
 
Thanks
 
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:
