Donor Apprecation Party and Outreach for Animals Week

Last week we had our Donor Appreciation dinner at the home of some new supporters and old friends of mine. It went well: the food was fantastic, it was very intimate, people had a great time. The major downside was that the attendance was low. Abby Lindekugel, a new volunteer and student at the U, did a great job in organizing the event with me.

Outreach for Animals Week is moving along. We have kick off events and you can sign up online. Check out the page on exploreveg for more details. Please consider helping out! Leafleting is pretty easy and the fund raising is crucial -- we get much of our funding from friends and family of volunteers.

In other news:
  • Catering looks like a viable option for the 2010 banquet. Lisa Kimball has been doing some research. If you know of caterers that can make affordable vegan food, send them my way
  • We continue to research potential foundation funders, without luck
  • The matching donation is going great! We have received about a dozen donations for at least $500 from our appeals in the weekly update. This is more successful than we've ever been at email fund raising.
Ok, that's all! Please let us know what you're up to!
