All I know about fund raising, I learned from the expert, Barb. She probably has raised more money for OCF than anybody.

She shared her solicitation letter with me and I modified it for my use. As she said, we are available to help. I will send a copy of the letters that I mail and or email to anyone that wants it.

Remember that an event is not necessary in order to solicit donations from friends, co-workers and family. You just have to believe that what you get from the website and especially the forum, are worth having around for yourself and those that will surely follow you.

I'm still getting checks in the mail from some late-mailers. I will be forwarding them to Brian by the end of the week.
