We get their expertise and their connections in the community, and they get to help.

The corporation 'loans' us an executive to work full time during the fund-raising campaign. This year, we were lucky enough to have Lori Glaze from State Farm. We usually only get them for 6 weeks, but we were lucky enough to have Lori for eight weeks. She did an amazing job.

That's where we need help. It's rotted. We need help with signage and our Web site.

If 200 people pledge $8 a month, that would do it. The more money we have, the more we can allocate.

We are a tool for the community. We are the best fund-raising tool the community has.
