Recruit new board members

at next fundraiser

Executive Director Gene Johnson (Charlotte Hall, Maryland) wasn’t looking for a new board member when he wrote 120

letters to area churches asking if they would be interested in raising money for his organization (a youth and families

nonprot) as an outreach activity.

But his letter-writing campaign led not only to a $15,000 special event, but a quality board member in the form of a

local pastor.

“We hit it off with one of the churches that responded to the letter, and they went on to perform a dinner theater

event at a nice local restaurant for us,” Johnson said. “The event was one of the best fundraisers we have ever

done.”

Five months later, when Johnson met with the pastor of the church that organized the event to update him on how the

money they raised was used, the pastor indicated he was ready to join the board of Johnson’s organization. ■
