Workshop for White Pine Member Libraries
Mark Morrow from the Breton Group will conduct a workshop on letter writing campaign for raising funds for the library. Workshop leaders will work with each library to prepare the necessary letters. Participants will leave the workshop with a letter that can be used to fund raise. This is a pilot project. Once you have completed your campaign, and are satisfied, there will be a cost - possibly $500+, per library. There is no cost to attend the workshop. The workshop is a follow up to the presentation that Mark gave at the last (September) Advisory Meeting.
Please let Bryon Sitler know if you will attend.

WHAT
The Breton Group will offer a half-day workshop to help library leaders develop and execute a fall 2017 annual giving mailing. The service would help library leaders:
- Develop a personalized local appeal letter (Case Statement) utilizing provided letter drafts and day-of, hands-on coaching/editing guidance
- Customize an appeal brochure that when completed that day is ready to print (in-house at your library or a local printer)
- Determine how to best personalize each letter either by data (electronic) or hand-written additions by staff or volunteers
Outline an annual appeal of Board members prior to public appeal
- Evaluate the library prospect pool to identify the data necessary for the fall appeal
Provide example of accountability reports to the community
