Volunteers begin fundraising telephone calls

Expect a call from a UMYC/UMSS volunteer fundraiser this week.  UMYC/UMSS volunteers met at the Yacht Club Place Monday night to practice their fund raising skills.  Bruce and Charlie talk over UMSS fund raising strategyThey plan to talk with all of the members before year end to make sure they can fit a donation into their tax planning.  Brant Nelson helped the group script their sales pitch.  They seem to be more confident on the race course than selling on the telephone.  We know the membership will be receptive when they call.  Thanks to all of our volunteers including Charlie Bennett, Barry Bennet, Brant Nelson, Alan Greene, Bruce Hedblom, Noel Neuman, Dave Abramson, Keith Morical, Susan Tenney and Bob Buffin.  Our goal is to raise $40,000 before year end.  We are 25% there with the generous donation from the Dennis family.
