[Nfbnorthwest at aol.com]

I think that's a good point but I want to think outside the box too. Any  
suggestions or ideas? Lisa O.

Hi,
I  think one thing we need to do is bring in money from the outside; not 
just  
use our own personal money which some of us have little of.

Several  years ago in Nebraska we got a list of lawyers and sent them each 
a 
letter  letting them know about us so that when people asked who to leave 
their  will to, they had us as someone to give money to.  I think we didn't 
 
get a whole lot, but we got some.  It was a multi-chapter  project.
Thanks
Lauren
