EMAIL DETAILS

Hello Meg, Michael, Kathleen, and Hunter,


Anne and I just met about your email as I just arrived back from Omaha last
night! We are thrilled with your ideas. Thank you so much for your
creativity, energy and desire to support JVC Northwest!


* The former JV Networking opportunities sound perfect!


* The larger fundraising ideas are also wonderful. The only concern
may be with II.B - we are wondering how the diocese and parish may feel
about having 2nd collections for JVC Northwest if JVC has a community in
DC. We trust your wisdom and experience here. Another great Jesuit from
the Northwest to include might be Pat Conroy.


Anne will be in touch further - and please let us know how we can assist
you. We are processing all the information we received on the weekend.


As Kathleen and Meg and I talked, I will be in DC for our annual AmeriCorps
meeting the week of September 19. We tentatively set a date for Tuesday,
September 20 at the Biden's. Kathleen was going to check out this date with
Hunter.


Many, many thanks!

Jeanne

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!)
