Lisa,

What are your ideas and how is your chapter implementing them?

I think that's a good point but I want to think outside the box too. Any
suggestions or ideas? Lisa O.

Hi,
I  think one thing we need to do is bring in money from the outside; not

just  
use our own personal money which some of us have little of.

Several  years ago in Nebraska we got a list of lawyers and sent them
each 
a 
letter  letting them know about us so that when people asked who to
leave 
their  will to, they had us as someone to give money to.  I think we
didn't 
 
get a whole lot, but we got some.  It was a multi-chapter  project.
Thanks
Lauren
