And yes there are still some corporate tickets available to help close those
deals for donations ! Please call if you need them. Sieur Chris Bishop 403-299-7796 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - --------------------------------------------------- Its really hard to tell how well we are doing with fundraising so far this year. Kelly Trout tells me there is about $90,000.00 in the bank. In addition, she has been told of a $10,000.00 donation and that other companies will be donating, although the exact amount is uncertain. From my phone calls, it looks like there may be $20,000.00 -$40,000.00 out there that has not been received by Kelly. I really hope that I am not being overly optimistic though. Last year, I think we had about $140,000.00 in the bank on the night of the party and thought that we would raise a total of $150,000. Somehow, after all of the donations came in, we received $165,000.00 in donations. So, it may be that if I am estimating things correctly, we are on track. If I am being overly optimistic, however, we have a lot of work to do. Please ensure that you follow-up on letters and make some last minute cold calls. Its not too late. I'm attaching a list of donors from the last 2 years. The lists show names of donors who we have not yet received donations from this year, at least not to my knowledge. Beside the donors are the names of the deputies who obtained the donations. If your name is beside a company, please call the company to find out if they will match last year's donation (or exceed it), you may be surprised, they may have budgeted for this donation! Also, even if your name is not beside a company, call these companies if you know people there. The more phone calls, the more likely it is that we receive a donation! Please keep up the hard work. We want to meet our target!!!! Also, email Kelly Trout at Kelly_Trout@Scotia-Mcleod.com any names of donors who have confirmed that they will donate, plus the anticipated amount of the donation. We want to be able to know by Monday how close we are to our target -- so your communication with Kelly if important. Thanks to everybody who is working so hard, but keep pushing yourself to get those extra donations. Liz PS I just rented my costume on Thursday!!! It got me pretty hyped about the party as I stood there trying on dresses and mile high white wigs!!!
