DCP NewsFeed Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Dear friends, phamily, and phans, Welcome to another year-end! It’s time for us to close 2018 and look toward the future and decide “What’s Next” for us. Those words were the message used by our guest speaker, Robert Cawthorne, at our banquet this past August.

Tim K Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 This letter is honest about the challenges the corps faces, realistic about the finances, and hopeful for the upcoming season, all pluses for potential donors. Let’s hope it becomes an action plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Wonder how potential mm/parents will take this request as auditions have already begun.

garfield Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I'm not seeing it as unusual. I gave them a few hundred dollars in Sept, 2008 and every year since I've gotten an appeal that's something similar to this. Crafting effective appeals for money takes more creativity over time. I kind of feel immune after all these years, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
