To: KWVA Membership... WE NEED YOUR FUNDRAISER IDEAS!
As Fundraiser Chairman, I would appreciate your assistance,
ideas and input as members for our upcoming 2011 Fundraiser and Prizes.
What would it take for you, as a member, to get excited enough
about our upcoming Fundraiser to donate $20, $50, $100, or more... how do we do that? What prizes/incentives would it
take to get your donation?
Your input as members is most important to us... our
Fundraising Committee needs your ideas of what the members would like to see offered as prizes and what it would take to get
their participation in the Fundraiser.
All suggestions and ideas are welcome. Please take a moment and
email your suggestion to: ArtArmy299@yahoo.com.
Be on the look out in the January-February 2011 issue of the
Korea Veterans Graybeards for the 2011 Fundraiser announcement - maybe it will be your idea!
Thank you for participating. Remember, all Fundraiser receipts
help assist in the publication of The Graybeards!
