Strategy

Another idea... http://view.exacttarget.com/?ffcb10-fe9 ... 3511707767

Just change the approach and we could easily use the concept for a fundraiser.

Josh Thurston with Hoosier Heights has a portable climbing wall he offered to setup in Wal-mart for this fundraiser. Now THAT could be cool! Come the new year, I want to move forward with a strategy for approaching Wal-mart for a match.

That would be awesome Michelle! We can raise community awareness and get the donation. Maybe charge $5 per person to climb the wall and put out a collection jar. While the little kiddies are climbing, we can educate the parents on the property. Hell yeah!

I spoke with Shawn Tierney of the Access Fund today. I had phoned them to see if they would put and action alert up on their site. He told me that they were aware of the difficulties that we are dealing with and they were very invested in helping- I think mainly they feel like us that this is a problem that needs a long term solution and needs a comprehensive long term fund raising solution and they want to help us come up with the plan. Early in the new year Steve Matuse (sp?) will get in touch.
I think we need to have our plan together and real good idea of our goals and steps we are taking to meet those goals.
I think we need to have an integration meeting to firm up our goals for the spring etc. I was thinking next week. Anyone opposed? Any suggestions? When is a good time.

Unless you are planning on being around Chattanooga next week, I would say it would be pretty tough to get together...

We'll be around on Monday and that's pretty much it. So yea, it'll probably have to wait until January. I'm down with it, though.

When do you all want to meet? I can meet most days after 6pm but only for like an hour or so.

How about Thursday night for 45min. Say 7-8ish, max?

To be honest, my weeks are terrifyingly busy right now. Fridays and weekends are so much better. Would a get together then be possible for anyone?
