In reaction to Rabbit Hole Day, [livejournal.com profile] ceruleanst says, "Fuckabunchathat. Go *DO* something surreal, instead of just making it up." As a card-carrying Erisian, I support that. Of course, I support the making it up, too.

So anyway. This weekend, I went to Iowa with [livejournal.com profile] zylch, to talk about fund-raising and church stewardship in the UUA. I think that fulfills [livejournal.com profile] ceruleanst's requirements. *boggle* On the one hand, we told them all about the God Auction as a fund-raiser, and fully half of them thought it was a good idea (although they were initially suspicious of the mention of gods). On the other, the painfully earnest quotient was high, and we were, of course, the youngest people in the room by at least 15 years. Mildly trippy on both counts.

But I'm back now. Did you miss me?

So Glad...

Yep!!!
Speaking of fund raising, it has been an up year for fund raising at GC. I think we are on a roll?? So glad, you two took this on.!!

Hooray for fund-raising! Actually, very little of the training was about fund-raising, most of it was about how to get your own people to pledge more, and how to manage capital campaigns and so on.

I don't mind trying to get a reasonable amount of money out of people that aren't our members, though, and I have a couple of ideas on new ways to do that. The big one should wait until next year, but I think we could do some of the little ones this year...
