Greg Nepstad surprised participants at last weekend's Iowa Chapter Fundraising Training by challenging them to match a $5000 gift-what could be the largest single private contribution in chapter history. As part of the March Window appeal, Sierra volunteers will be making our case to hundreds of members and friends throughout the state, inviting them to double their contribution by meeting Greg's challenge. Any increase from last year's donation will act as a match. We have a month to take advantage of this challenge. Just as Governor Vilsack challenged Iowans to clean up the state's fouled waters, Greg, a former chapter ex-com chair, has challenged us to step up to the job. Pledges will also meet the challenge, but we have only a month to match the $5000. We invite Sierra leaders and activitsts to help us NOW in our fundraising; please call the chapter office 515-277-8868 [log in to unmask]) or Jim Redmond, our fundraising chair, at 712-279-5544 or 712-258-8303 or [log in to unmask] Thank you for your help at this critical time! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To view the Sierra Club List Terms & Conditions, see: http://www.sierraclub.org/lists/terms.asp
