Hi Fabulous DC Delegation!


Thank you for your efforts to create an ambitious and exciting action plan
for moving forward. We love your ideas and enthusiasm, but Jeanne and I did
want to touch base regarding one of the action items outlined below: the
Second Collection.


We think it would be best not to approach the Archdiocese, Holy Trinity, or
other local parishes for donations, as it feels like we would be encroaching
on JVC territory. It also happens that Kate Haser, former ED of JVC East
who then oversaw outreach at JVC, is a member of Holy Trinity parish. Due
to this sensitivity, it would be best to focus your efforts on formers and
your own personal connections.


We look forward to working with all of you to implement this great action
plan, and please feel free to contact either Jeanne or myself if you have
any questions or concerns.


Take care, and have a great weekend!


Anne


Please note: the JVC Northwest office has moved! Our new address is listed
below (as of 2/12).

Jeanne, Anne & Sarah:


As promised, following is a copy of our "outline to action" for the DC
contingency, as presented yesterday evening. Please let us know if you have
any tweaks/additional ideas.


It was such a wonderful and inspiring weekend - we don't want to lose the
momentum!


Best,

Meg


I. Former JVC NW Network


A. Organize a former JV social event with list of former JVs
provided by staff.


B. Tap one, younger former JV from that event to organize a day
of service, that will also serve as a very small fundraiser to help
establish a habit of giving (e.g., $25 to participate if you are within 5
years of JVC; $50 if further out). Service project to be followed by
simple, community meal. This will be designed to be an annual event for
former JVs in the area.


C. Tap a second, younger former JV to organize a DC spirituality
night. Frequency to be dictated by people's desire/willingness to
participate, but default to suggest would be quarterly. Person who
organizes the first can continue to take the helm, or each "host" can
designate the person to host the next ones.


II. Larger Fundraising


A. Organize a larger cocktail fundraiser for
friends/associates/neighbors who might be willing to support JVC NW, as well
as parents and grandparents of current JVs, emphasizing the 60th
Anniversary. Depending on size of invite list, may want to ask Georgetown
University to provide us space for the event. We'll ask a recent alum to
present for 10 minutes or so regarding the impact JVC NW made to her or his
life, and how they could not have done it without financial support of
donors. Perhaps include a very short video as part of that presentation if
there is an appropriate one. One member of Alumni Council to also speak
very briefly. Minimum specific ask to be made for those attending (part of
invite/entry fee), and encouragement to give more. Should also encourage
some Jesuits to attend - Father Greg Schenden (Georgetown Campus Ministry) a
good one; each of us will consider others as well.


B. Second Collection: Mike will inquire what it would entail
to have the entire Diocese do a second collection for JVC NW; barring that,
we'll inquire whether Holy Trinity would do so (a Jesuit parish in DC where
both Meg, Kathleen and Hunter are members). The aim would be to make this
second collection an annual event.


C. Each of us to consider what foundations or persons we may be
able to ask to give, or introduce JVC NW to, and you can make the ask. (To
that end, as we discussed, I have used the binder from this weekend to draft
a letter to my law firm partners which I will run by you before sending; I
just want my husband (the writer in the family) to take a crack at it
first!)
