Launching the Spring Solicitation
MM created a newsletter for donors. DC reviewed it and provided feedback.
Donors will get a letter in the mail notifying them of the delayed expansion.
Tweaks will be made to the newsletter and shared with the committee members and Paul Robbins for feedback. The goal is to send out by EOD February 14th.
KOF and KD will work on the donor solicitation that will go out later this month. The letter should include the level given in the previous year(s). This needs to be sent out to everyone. The initial solicitation is sent out by letter with an email follow-up.
The digital follow-up should include a video of students playing during band class.
