TELEPHONE CONFERENCE MEETING OF THE
WEAF LONG-RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEE*
August 2, 1996

Grace Parke-Fremlin, Gwen Simmons and I held an initial
meeting to discuss goals and objectives. Each of us stated
things we hoped to accomplish/address in a long-range plan for
the WBAF. Our individual ideas are listed below:

Grace

Gwen:

All of us agreed that we should begin gathering information
and preparing recommendations in the following areas:

1. Try some new/novel fundraising events;
2. Plan events which will give the biggest bang for
our buck;
3. Have some events with lower prices to capture a
different group not previously targeted; and
4. Carefully select the beneficiaries of our
fundraisers.

1. Find different events to sponsor or take-on as
fundraisers with a range of prices either within
one event, or separate events at different price
levels;
2. Carefully select events so there is sufficient
time between fundraisers to allow time for
planning and publicizing, thus avoiding over-
taxing the resources of the Board and the groups
which support us.
3. Choose events where we and our guests can have fun
and be enthusiastic about selling the event to
others;
4. Designate a Board meeting periodically to discuss
and assess our goals and progress in meeting those
goals within the timetables projected.

a:
1. Establish an endowment goal on a five-year or ten-
year timetable;
2. Once an endowment goal is set, determine several
levels of contributions, put list together and
decide best time for sending out package of
information; use professional design/printing for
the appeal.
3. Investigate using professional event planners for
some of these goals;
4. Review annually our investment strategy;
5. Look for other foundation monies which may be
available to us for WBA or WBAF signature
projects.
