In fact, it's obvious. What's the alternative, a non-professional effort?, no effort at all? Don't be diverted by Charles' negativity. (No doubt he would characterize it as 'realism'. ;-}) A google search for "fundraising" scores 3,800,000 hits. The first of these is: Association of Fundraising Professionals at: http://www.afpnet.org/ "fund raising mailing lists" scores 176,000 hits, "fundraising mailing lists" scores 93,400, "fundraising fundamentals", 34,400, and "fundraising "how to"", 1,070,000. Go for it. I'd be glad to collaborate with you on this. Contact me offlist.

I believe that made it clear that I was throwing out a suggestion for discussion, not giving an order. But if anyone besides Mr. Pratt thought I was telling others they should do things, I am sorry. I did not mean it that way at all. Now, what do others think of the idea? Perhaps Rudi Hoffman can tell us if this kind of "selling" could work. Rudi, could it fly?
