| Fundraising efforts for the 2010 Houston Cat Club Annual Charity Cat
Show has officially started. As Fundraising Coordinator, I am excited about
sharing my plans to increase revenue for our Houston Cat Club (HCC) and
its respective upcoming 58th Annual Charity Cat Show. Please send
me your ideas as well. Your suggestion(s) should not cost the
HCC any out-of-pocket expenses. Committee members needed to identify prospects and help address envelopes. Beth Weiser and Kate Brusegaard have offered. Any one else? 1. GETTING THE WORD OUT *The attached Word document (6 pages) is the approved fundraising letter about the various sponsorship and donor levels, advertising rates, and their respective forms. (Downloadable as .pdf file here: 2010 Fundraiser.pdf **Think about participating in at least one of the venues: Example (1): ring sponsorship-single business or two businesses share a sponsorship Example (2): ads--great Member rates for advertising your company/business or submit a story and picture of your cat(s) ***Contact me with your referrals of prospective donors, sponsors, and advertisers. This will help eliminate duplication. Plus, I need to keep a record. 2. Businesses owned by HCC Members Donate a Percentage of Proceeds *Feature HCC Member businesses for fundraising campaigns (could be one or two at a time). You decide on the percentage of proceeds to donate to the Houston Cat Club. **Member businesses added to the Houston Cat Club website ***Send me (kyr709@hotmail.com) your business contact info, email address, website (if any), a brief description of the business, and the percentage rate for the Houston Cat Club. 3.
