Fundraising - You’ve Just Got to Love It
I think one of the hardest things to do, next to cutting your toenails is that of
fundraising. I find myself writing letter after letter for hours to movie stars, sports figures, doctors, anyone I think would have a big heart. That’s the thing I hope to find, people with money who also have a big heart along with discretionary funds.
Now this last statement wasn’t meant as a sarcastic jab, because there are affluent individuals out there who can donate thousands of dollars without missing it. As a matter of fact if I were still gainfully employed, I’d bet a month’s pay there’s at least two such individuals reading this right now. So, come on folks this is a win - win situation. Your donation will, more than likely, save a wounded warrior’s life, and what’s more your donation is “tax deductible!
Hopefully, within the next couple of months it will be possible for us to begin some aspects of construction. An architect has been contacted and will soon be in the process of designing the main lodge that will be the focal point of our operation.
This focal point will not by any means be of an inexpensive nature. A building that was in the $250,000 category to build last year, now will, more than likely, come in at over $450,000. Well drilling, sewage disposal, power all will enter the equation higher than ever before. Despite all these negative aspects the SGT. Carlton A. Clark Veteran’s Center can still become a reality, and something we can all be proud of. All we ask of you reading this today is your support, and to become our “Ambassadors” encouraging your family, friends, and neighbors to also support
us. Thank you on behalf of all those young warriors, both male and female,
returning home with the fog of war still embedded deeply within their minds.
