Need fund raising heads + fund raising heads for the major ones. Following are the key oneswhich bring in the most money.Could be a language barrier with some of the population. In years past, we had translators.How do we communicate how we are as a school? People believe the state/federalgovernment is doing the funding and we may not have done an adequate job of explaining tofamilies that we are providing beyond basic services. They dont understand where thefunding is going. We have revaluate how we are reaching out and be more direct. We need tolook at recruitmentif we arent getting the new 20%, because we aren t seeing them join.Gela and Sarah can help if you see anyone who is a joiner. Need a website overhaul. Possiblea Spanish speaking communication head and fundraiser head.Possible Fundraisers for 2014-2015
