MNRS Foundation News
As you know, the Foundation is a
fledgling organization, so we are proud to report our success in raising
funds through the events at the 2009 conference. The Silent Auction raised
$9,000 and the FUNdraiser netted over $16,000.
A big THANK YOU to all who
performed in, bought tickets or tables, or voted with dollars for the
performers in the Talent Show, contributed to the Silent Auction through
donations and purchases, and made donations to the Foundation.
Wouldn't you like to join the fun??
We are already planning for the
2010 MNRS Annual Conference and the following opportunities are available:
- Join the FUNdraiser
Talent Show Committee to help recruit talent, publicize and promote
the event, plan the program, and the evening.
