Annual Solicitation Campaign
Our Solicitation Campaign kicked-off on March 23rd, and as of April 20, we have received about $1500 in donations. For this time in the campaign, this is a good response, but it is far from our goal of $8000.
As a reminder, this is one of the four major ways that we raise money for the BCC’s expenses. The others are dues, funding from the ASO and the Five Star Celebration/Silent Auction. In order to keep our dues at a reasonable level; we must be successful in the other three areas. We can really help ourselves by being diligent on the Solicitation Campaign.
Solicitation Packages are still available so you can ask your friends, neighbors, relatives and companies for a contribution if you have not already done so. All we are asking is that you solicit at least two people for contributions. If you have not made a donation, please consider doing so, and if your company is one that matches contributions, please do the necessary paper work to obtain it.
For packages or more info, see Wayne Hay or Bruce Burson.
