Fundraising

Our goal is to raise $5,000 in the next 2 months. We ask you to give/participate at a level at which you feel comfortable, keeping in mind that this is OUR ANNUAL EFFORT FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR, which ends June 30th.

If all 50 members gave $100, we would be done. We do recognize that although that’s a nice round figure, it is not realistic to expect everyone to donate at that level and we do not wish to make anyone feel that she must drop out or resign. This is simply a different, more direct approach. There is no disrespect or undue pressure accompanying this – we will try to determine that each member is indeed aware of the drive by mailing letters to members who do not receive email (or in some cases are so overwhelmed by it they don’t see everything). You will receive a mailing after March 1st, unless you have already responded. Checks should be made out to AAUW Scholarship Fund – Keene Branch. Please mail to: 56 Chapman Road, Keene, NH 03431
