[b]Alumni Fundraising Campaign[/b] Brothers, Good News we have worked out a deal with IHQ on the past debt.  The bad news is that we need to pay around $5000 by year’s end, to have the remaining debt forgiven.  We currently have about $1500, so we need to raise about $3500 over the next five months.  Now this will leave the Alumni Association broke, but in the black for the first time in over a decade.  The active chapter did a good job this past year in fundraising and fiscal management.  They paid all of the insurance and re-chartering  fees and still had enough money left over to pay for two brothers to go the Chapter Leadership Conference in Columbia, SC.  They had several large and small fundraisers that hopefully can be repeated in years to come.  Our goal is to maintain interaction with the chapter on fiscal management to replicate this year’s effort.  Our long term goal is to help out the chapter on an annual basis with the re-chartering fees and to help out with transportation costs to events when needed.   We are asking that each alumnus make an annual donation for the next five years to pay off the past debt and to create a fund to help support the chapter for years to come.   This plan will be much more than a quick fix, but rather a complete overhaul of chapter operations and Alumni involvement.   Our goal is to raise $25,000 from this campaign.  To date we have had $16,000 pledged from 33 alumni and received $6460 in donations.    This is a great start, but we have a long way yet to go to meet our goals. I have attached a pledge form to this message.  If you have made a previous pledge and have lost track of the amount or if you are current please contact Mark Stuhlmiller  (stuhlmiller@yahoo.com) or myself. We will discuss this plan in detail at the Annual Meeting during Summer Party.  If you can not attend the annual meeting, drop me an e-mail with any questions you may have.  My e-mail is hzox221@yahoo.com Alumni making pledges to the campaign so far: Gary Abbate Jim Abbey Eric Anderson Kevin Bauer Jim Bistransky Jared Brown Pat Brynes Zak Burkons Mike Farley Chris Goebel Dave Gray Jeff Hvozdik Chris Hutter Ron Kibbe Pat Knapp Mike Little Jeff McMurty Steve Miller Eric Pope John Reed Mike Reinsel John Rick Gary Rodgers Jim Rogers Steve Rosetone Tom Ryan Doug Sestock Gary Slater Gordie Smith Kevin Spall Mark Stuhlmiller Charles Watson Mike Zafiroski
