> Fellow Presidents:
>
> Yes:  we had a little drawing today.  Let me begin by thanking the eleven 
> states which managed to register ten or more Imaginators by March 31 for 
> the 2010 Race for Independence.
>
> Some states were close, but no cigar because nine was not enough to get 
> into the drawing.  And in some cases, the State President was not 
> registered and thereby kept the state out of the drawing.
>
> But I digress.  The winner of the March promotion is, is, is, Louisiana! 
> Congratulations to Pam Allen and our fellow Federationists in Louisiana. 
> On a serious note, I want to thank all of those who have worked so hard to 
> get people involved in the Race for Independence.
>
> While these promotions are fun, and there will be others, the important 
> thing to remember about the Imagination Fund is the crucial need to 
> generate funding for our programs at the local, state, and national 
> levels.
>
> We have exactly four months until the end of the 2010 campaign.  This is 
> plenty of time to raise $250 by July 31.  We can do it by raising just 
> over $2 per day.  As a matter of fact, I pulled-in another $35 today.
>
> I will be giving you details about other affiliate promotions soon.  In 
> the meantime, please be recruiting Imaginators and raising money.
