FUNDRAISING
Keith Lester reported that he is working on a letter. He passed around a draft for discussion. He
said after the letter is sent, committee members would follow up with an appointment and hand
them a document with specific information.
Keith’s name will be on all letters. If another committee member is making the specific contact,
their name will also go on the letter.
Keith distributed a promotional flyer. We would put some specific events on it with the cost,
such as band concert with dollar amount or band shell with amount. He will figure out what they
will get from their donation, such as a listing on the website or on brochures.
Dr. Orn suggested sitting down with the current mayor and past mayors and ask them to contact
service groups.
Dr. Orn said he will contact an architect in regards to a band shell.
Some businesses that were suggested are: American Legion, Anderson Dry Wall, Applebee’s,
Best Buy, Welsh, Bremer Bank, FBI, Malmborg’s, Met Council, US Bank, American Electric,
Park Nicollet Foundation, Target Foundation, UPS Store, Caribou.
Sue LaCrosse said she is going to have a table for the Centennial Celebration at the National
Night Out kickoff. She asked committee members if anyone was interested in joining her.
