Jim: I think you see some great possibilities here and i am sure our
donations person can implement something from all this. Taking a global
view, we have many fronts that need work and the more that go forward
there will be a synergism that helps the rest. Ultimately strategic
planning will be setting goals. If you have goals you can find people to
help that buy into those goals and you can also have fund drives to get
the monies needed to achieve those goals. But until we understand the
vision of where the society is going we have a hard time vocalizing these
goals. It is a chicken and egg problem and neither comes first but
everything must move forward together. Thanks for sharing these gifting
ideas. If i was not an optomist at heart i would not try so hard to get us
moving.
