Dear Members of the Boards,


Hope you were all able to enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend!


Thank you all for such a lively, engaged conversation around fundraising at
our last board meeting. As you probably know by now, one of our biggest
fundraising opportunities -- the CNP Muskie Awards -- is right around the
corner!


This year's event will be held at the prestigious Army Navy Club on May 1st
at 6pm and will honor Assistant Majority Leader Dick Durbin. A true public
servant, Senator Durbin has been a friend of CNP and Truman for many years.
That same evening, we'll also be announcing the joint Truman/CNP Board of
Advisors, which includes names like Madeline Albright, Janet Napolitano,
and General James Cartwright. More than half of the 45 member board has
already confirmed their attendance at the event.


Here's where you come in. In order to meet our ambitious fundraising goals
for this event (and for the year), *we're asking each of you to join our
Muskie Host Committee by personally committing help raise (or write) $2,500
or more and helping us sell tickets to the event. *Every little bit will
help us get to our goal of $200,000!


As part of this goal, we're also asking each of you to think of 3-5 of your
contacts (or more if you've got them!) who might be likely to attend or
sponsor the event. Think about people who:

- Share your commitment to leadership development and convening the best
minds to tackle today's global challenges;
- Are highly philanthropic;
- Would be open to supporting an organization that is important to you
(either because of your personal relationship or because of you've
previously supported a cause they care about);
- See the Muskie Award Ceremony as a way to market or brand their
organization with CNP.

Just send along their name, email or physical address, and we can get them
an invitation. (And don't worry -- we won't add them to our permanent
mailing list unless you say it's okay.) Along with their contact info,
we'd like to get a sense of what you think each person can contribute (a
$125 ticket, $250 VIP ticket, or a higher level sponsorship of $2,500,
$5,000 or more) so we can set goal accordingly. (Attached is a more
detailed description of ticket/sponsorship information and talking points.)

Robin will be following up with you towards the end of this week about how
we can help you reach these goals. If you think of names in the meantime,
you can email them to her at rmcqueen@trumancnp.org and we'll happily put
an invite in the mail.


Thanks as always for your incredible support. Please let us know if you
have any questions!


Have a great Monday,
Sarah
