Having problems with message search?
Hey, Kathy. I am definitely not in the Wright's league!!!
Thanks so much for wanting to be involved. We would be honored to have you take over as the new contact person. Any suggestions on how to get that word out, Bev? I would bet that just notifying the RDI community about a new contact person/ head of the scholarship fund may help generate some donations! Should I post the news on the parent forum of the rdios?
I have tried to recruit Nicole to be a fundraising chairperson-- she definitely appears to have the talent for effective communication! Have you guys subscribed to their newsletter? Seems to be informative.... thanks so much to all who have given of their time to help get the scholarships going, take care, Jen

Hey JenWell, unfortunately to raise Millions you sort of have to have connections lol and the Wrights do! So if you guys are thinking to get someone to raise money like that, Im not you gal lolI am interested in keeping this going till someone who may have some talent at fundraising wants to take it under their wing..... :)Kathy----- Original Message -----From: Jennifer GersonSent: Wednesday, May 07, 2008 9:14 PMSubject: Re: [rdischolarship] update
Hey, Kathy and Heidi and others. Sorry that I am just getting your posts (one of THOSE days at work). Kids finally in bed.Last year, private donors donated over half of the money. The annual conference was also a big donor (thanks, Kathy), along with additional money from Mary Kay and a couple of other "corporate" donations.I think it would be great to have an energetic fund-raising chairperson, who might come up with one or two events each year (? the T-shirt or stationary ideas, and/or some sort of national walk). I am floored by the amount of money national organizations like Autism Speaks raises (millions each year). Unfortunately, I lack the organizational skills and time to be such a person.... thanks, Jen----- Original Message -----From: K DARROWSent: Wednesday, May 07, 2008 5:37 PMSubject: Re: [rdischolarship] update

I could *advertise* this on the new group? I dont mind being *part* of the committee, but as far as fund raising, not sure what else could be done? Are we talking just writing letters to companies?Kathy----- Original Message -----From: Jennifer GersonSent: Wednesday, May 07, 2008 7:29 AMSubject: Re: [rdischolarship] update
I would ditto the message by Heidi. I was hoping that another volunteer with some ability for fund raising, coupled with a bit of time (that nobody has!!) would step forward and help the fund out. Apparently, all of us are to our limit. I think that perhaps another group will need to be started to bring this forward, or start a new fund.Thanks so much to all who have worked on this in the past. It is certainly not too late to keep it going if anyone is able to do so......BTW, Kath's new group is fantastic. Hope to have more time for that in the future!!!!! take care, Jen----- Original Message -----From: K DARROWSent: Tuesday, May 06, 2008 12:24 PMSubject: [rdischolarship] update
