~FINANCES~
Lyle – Need to sell/drive membership
Ask for help – community driven membership sales
Camille – re-education effort
BJ – can’t sustain
Jaime – UNC student orgs, grassroots, intern, door to door – Abundance taking this own
Camille – more important that currency gets used versus paid members, paid employee
Lyle – thinks it ran out of steam because it was all volunteer organization
keep membership drive, get fundraising up. 38 members only – heartbreak, focus is too inward
Jennifer – its not just initial contact, it is the follow up.
Lyle – we need to show more face
Moya – 1 in 10 take it right off the bat, need to know whats in it for them, keep talking over and over again. Where does $50 go to? Explain the benefits?
Currency needs printed, website needs maintained, stickers, phone number, advertising for 1 year.
BJ – transition out gracefully, finish out July. $1,500 invoice from June, estimated $1000 in July. Turn framed into cash, up to $5625.
Jennifer – hang them up at member business with price tags.
Lyle – put frames for sale at Chatham Marketplace.
