Fundraising Year in Review

"The Work is not Done; it has just Begun"

The efforts of the community has improved the year to date income by 22%; donated $7500 and increased net fundraising by 60%. BUT, the net amount is $2600, which is less than one month's worth of Lambda's expenses.

So what? First, LPC's average monthly expenses are $4000, divided by 30 days translates into $130 per day to run the club. LPC currently collects an average of $87 per day. This means that the concept of voluntary contributions without structure from the Board is causing meetings to not be self-supporting. The Board will need to address this along with the meeting representatives.

Second, I made a Call to Action: Subcommittee members to help solution the separation of Board-funded Activities and Fundraising. While the Board would love to eliminate the need to ask for a couple of bucks from each of you frequently, we simply do not have large donors nor the budget to have monthly "free" activities. There is a solution, we will work together to get there!

Lastly, merely suggesting Lambda invest in an air conditioner $10k, new bathrooms $25k, and a parking lot $30k is easy. What distinguishes LPC from a church is that we do not have weekly meetings where a committed group of people contribute 10% of their income ... or do we? Is this something you can do? Please don't wait to be asked.
