We are relying on some old fashion neighbor to neighbor type of involvement. You do NOT need to be an experienced fundraiser or organizer.

(1) We are looking for anyone willing to make a few phone calls and coordinate with other groups in the community who might be willing to help us raise money to finish paying for the memorial. We have a list of groups to contact and a script of what to say in explaining our project and what kind of help we are seeking. This can be done from home over the month of August.

(2) We are looking for people willing to man an information booth at various athletic events this October and November. You will hand out brochures and discuss the project with people just learning about the memorial. You will also accept contributions from people making donations at the event. This typically involves 2 or 3 people sitting at a table under a Northwood Memorial banner for a couple of hours. We will have specific events and dates posted in the coming weeks.

(3) Do you have nice handwriting? We are looking for someone to write and send thank you notes to our contributors, acknowledging their donations. We will provide the Northwood Memorial thank you cards and envelopes, stamps, the donor information and some sample language for the cards.
