RE: Friends group questions

This is a message from CTLS-L. Selecting "Reply" will send a message to the originator. Selecting "Reply to All" will send a message to the entire list. --------------------------------------------------------- Well, everyone does it differently. My advice is to start out aiming high – yes, do levels but do them like credit cards – bronze, silver, gold, platinum. Or imitate whatever nonprofit fundraising names you’ve seen and admired. Don’t charge less than $25 for a membership and go up from there. Recruit your Friends board with the expectation that they will be a nonprofit corporation, because that’s what they will need to be. I’ll send you a book or two from CTLS’ professional collection.
