It sounds like you are kind of new. For what it's worth:
I read a book some years ago written by a professional consultant who helped charities with fundraisers. Somewhere in the book, she made the point that all the different charities she worked with thought someone else had The Answer and was somehow having an easier time of it. Charity A would talk like Charity B had their act together and they were so envious. Then she would go talk to Charity B and they thought Charity A somehow had it so much better. Etc. But she knew they all faced similar challenges.

Good luck.

Thank you all and don't worry, we are not going ANYWHERE!!! LOL... when we started this adventure we were told by Aaron's grammy (Big fundraiser) that we could not let our spirits get down when we are faced with rejection... and thinds aren't going as planned, so we simply get a new plan!!!
You have no idea how thankful I am for your response NW... I am sure many people feel what you have written and it is great that you opened the door for me to answer what some may have been afraid to write... I never take that personally... It just saddens my heart that there are people out there that take advantage of people willing to give... (I was just wantching a show and the people had to dress themselves for under $100 and some of the contestants LIED about being a part of a charity!!! It made me so mad!!!)
So thank you all again for your feedback and please keep any suggestions coming... I read them all and appreciate them all... This is the most important time for a starting out foundation and you are helping our community out in ways you have no idea!!!
xxoo

Thank you for that word of advice, I am not sure what that had to do with what you "quoted"... I am guessing having to do with us being new... and yes we are so new... 15 months to be exact... LOL!!!
What you wrote, really made me think and I appreciate it so much... I have felt that occasionally and when I feel that I will remember what you wrote... Thank you Michele!!!
goodnight everyone!!!
