Fundraising Update 2009 started off with a lot of questions: • Would we still be open at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> year? • Would we be able to provide <strong>the</strong> same level of services? • Would we be able to reach our fund raising goal? Fortunately, <strong>the</strong> answer to all of those questions is “Yes.” Thanks to our community, thanks to YOU, we are open and able to care <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> thousands of <strong>animals</strong> a year that come through our doors. As mentioned in Board President Darryl Heckle’s message, challenging times are still ahead of us and we hope we can count on your support again this year. To our end, we are exploring new ways of raising money and saving money, all while continuing to provide <strong>the</strong> same high levels of service. We recently began working with a direct marketing agency, Alpha Dog Marketing, to produce some of our solicitation mailings, and in fact, you have probably already received one from <strong>the</strong>m. Their clean, crisp, professional marketing materials have been well-received and have started us off on <strong>the</strong> right foot <strong>for</strong> fundraising success. Thanks to Alpha Dog, we are able to reach more people in a much more cost-effective way. We are also happy to welcome back Leanne Falkingham as our Animal Behavior, Training and Outreach Manager. In this role, Leanne will be adding a new service to <strong>the</strong> community by conducting trainings and classes <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> general public <strong>for</strong> a fee that will provide income to <strong>the</strong> shelter. This income will help to offset <strong>the</strong> cost of adoptions – as mentioned on Page 5. Due to staff restructuring, this position was made possible without adding to <strong>the</strong> total number of personnel. As always, we appreciate your donations. We know that times are tough, and that is why your generous gifts mean so much to us. If <strong>the</strong> <strong>animals</strong> could talk, we know <strong>the</strong>y’d say “Thank you,” too. Nov. 1, 2009 to April 1, 2010 In an ef<strong>for</strong>t to save on production costs <strong>for</strong> “For <strong>the</strong> Animals,” expanded Memorials and Honorariums, along with Individual Donors, are showcased online at www.chemungspca.org. We have updated our donor software. Because of this, <strong>the</strong>re may be some in honor of or in memory of gifts that have been inadvertently left off this list.
