[Nfbf-l] haircut-a-thon for state fundraiser

[craig kiser]

Gina, How's this for a statewide fundraiser for the chapters?   
Any pledges for the Kilimanjaro Climb obtained by a chapter will 
receive 10% of the proceeds.  Thus, if a chapter obtains 10 
pledges, they would get $190.00; if they get 100 pledges, they 
get $1,900.00; and if they get 1000 pledges, they would receive 
$19,000.00.  I have promised the board of directors that I will 
pull the plug on the fundraiser if I don't have 100 pledges by 
December 15.  I believe truly that pledges will go quickly 
because of the unusual and dangerous nature of the endeavor and 
the fact that proceeds will go to worthy, much needed help to the 
bling to achieve independence.  I will have pledge cards and 
flyers by the end of this week.  Please run it by the leadership.  
I can be available to further elaborate and answer questions.  My 
phone is 850 345-9122 and my email is sckiser55 at earthlink.net.

>Hello lists
>As Fundraising Committee Chair, one of my goals for our affiliate 
is to come up with at least two statewide event fundraisers 
snnuslly.  With teamwork and sharing our experience of the event, 
it can continue to improve year after year and hopefully, give 
our affiliate and the chapters more money to work with.
>At our leadership seminar, I had intended to talk a bit more, but 
time kind of got away from us.  At least half, or more chapters 
are interested in having a haircut-a-thon.  For those chapters 
who were not present at the leadership seminar and those that may 
need clarification of my intentions, this is what I'm doing.
>This coming Sunday, at our board meeting, I will propose to the 
board that we have the haircut-a-thon as a state fundraiser.  I 
know I suggested a 50 affiliate/50 chapters split after espenses, 
but that is not written in stone yet.  There may be other things 
to consider.  If we all work together and effectively utilize the 
talent that we have around our affiliate, we can get things done.  
I will let you know early next week what is decided and the 
details.  If anyone has any good ideas for a statewide event 
fundraiser, please let me know.
