Richards Fund-raising is a spiritual task, said the key-note speaker at a workshop workshop held at Knox Christian High School on Saturday, Jan. 29. "God has more money than what you need," added Dr. Dirk Vander Steen who has worked for the Barnabas Barnabas Foundation in Illinois. But, getting it is the challenge that most people within a Christian School system have difficulty with, Dr. Vander Steen explained in his discussion on "Marketing Christian Schools." Quoting from II Corinthians 8:16 to 24, Dr. Vander Steen said, "Being a Christian leader concerned about 'values' should motivate us to be bold in asking for support. Ministry and Means go together. Fundraising Fundraising is a deeply spiritual task." "You need to focus on reaching out," he said during the "Less Pies, More Dough" Workshop. "So far, you've been content with nickels and dimes rather than dollars. dollars. You need to be bolder -- go for their money!" While being bold, he also stressed the importance of being tactful and thankful. "You have to educate and teach people that they will be a vital part of the community when they give." But before that, fund-raisers need to identify the groups of people they wish to target during their fundraising. fundraising. Dr. Vander Steen suggested three groups, the OINKS (one income no kids), the DINKS (dual income no kids) and the WOOFS (well off over fifty seniors). He also suggested not trying to raise money from members who already already contribute to the school. The issue of looking at non- traditional fundraising was carefully examined by Dr. Vander Steen. Wills and estate planning is one area which people can look into for long-term fundraising. "This is the most painless way to raise money." Through estate planning, "people get to adopt a child called 'charity,'" he said. Before a will is done completely, the potential donor would take care of his or her family along with "charity." This would make "charity" "charity" a part of family, not a mere afterthought. afterthought. Tell people when they talk to others about estate planning that it "costs nothing, uses property and assets assets you didn't know you had, waits until all one's family needs are met, and it constantly replenishes itself." Invite them in to the school sys-\ ^mLOOKAT kV X 'o n tern to find out more about it, and this will help convince them the money will be well-spent. Dr. Vander Steen said being a development development director (fund-raiser) is sometimes like being a mosquito in a nudist colony "it knows what to do, but not where to start" Starting out means networking and being able to pick up ideas each day. Dr. Vander Steen said one of the things he did to network was that he joined Rotary International where the organization's motto is "Service Above Self." As a director of fund-raising one needs to build a committee or board which can draw upon contacts. He urged his audience to review what fund-raising events have worked in the past. "You need to know if special United Way Awards For Local Companies The United Way of Newcastle, Oshawa and Whitby celebrated the achievement of its 1993 objective with an awards banquet on January 19. In its '93 campaign, United Way reached its goal of $3,050,000. The following is a list of Municipality Municipality of Clarington award-winners whose efforts contributed to the United Way's success. All of them were recognized at the recent awards celebration: In the public service division, Ontario Hydro's Darlington Nuclear Generating Station was presented with a bronze award. Gold awards went to Darlington Nuclear Generating Generating Station shift superintendents/ supervisors and also to Darlington's Technical Section and Control Maintenance section. The Big Brothers of Clarington were presented presented with a community award in the public service division. Industrial Division awards went to Goodyear Canada Inc., of Bowmanville Bowmanville (bronze) and James Publishing Publishing (gold.) School Board Name Includes Clarington It's official now. The public school board has changed its name to the Northumberland Northumberland - Clarington Board of Education. Education. "The notification came in from 'the Ministry of Education about two weeks ago," said board Communications Communications Officer Pauline Janitch. Trustees voted in the fall on the name change, she said. Among the changes to take place will be some signs, the board's letterhead, letterhead, and perhaps the logo. So that the board does not incur any costs, paper stock will be used up before being replaced with stock containing the new name. À few signs will need to be replaced, replaced, including the one at the board's office in Cobourg, said Janitch. Janitch. As for the logo, Janitch said the trustees' Communications Committee Committee would be looking at that issue this month. "We're not sure whether the logo will remain the same or if the committee committee will want it redesigned." No matter which way they go on the design, the cost of the change to the new names will be kept to a minimum, she noted. "We're trying to keep this as inexpensive inexpensive as possible," said Janitch. events from the past have worked." An idea he discovered was setting setting aside one Sunday per year for a "Loyalty Day Collection." The money money collected would then go towards Christian Education. Before going out to ask for donations, donations, a fundraiser needs four valuable valuable items: • a tax exemption letter, • a recent audited report of the organization, organization, • a current financial report, and, • a copy of the Articles of Incorporation. Incorporation. Dr. Vander Steen also discussed how necessary it is for those supporting supporting Christian schools to stress the positive aspects. "As Christians, we teach principles principles and values in our system. We need to project this positive image and relationship. The community needs to know why you're different." different." At this point Dr. Vander Steen distributed brochures developed by four Christian schools in Kalamazoo. Kalamazoo. One, a full-color brochure has an artist's rendering of the four schools discussed. He described how literature is a basis upon which a whole campaign can spring up. An idea that came from the campaign campaign organizers was that of putting some of the information found in the brochure -- along with the full color artist's paintings -- on paper restaurant placemats. "We printed them up and dropped them off to a number of restaurants in our town." Dr. Vander Steen said creativity counts a lot in raising money. Dr. Vander Steen also talked about how the media can be used to promote a campaign. "The media can be extremely important important in a campaign." At the end of his talk, Dr. Vander Steen invited questions from those attending the workshop. One person asked how to answer the common refrain: "we've never done it that way before." He says to counter with the suggestion: suggestion: "God created us to adapt." Just because a group has always done something in one particular way doesn't mean a different angle can't be taken. In wrapping up the 60-minute session, Dr. Vander Steen said fundraising fundraising for one's school can be a learning experience for each individual individual as the group "comes together in Christ."

Oshawa 434-3939 with Elizabeth Belanger-Linkletter CTC You have just booked your holiday of a lifetime! or maybe just your annual trip to the sun. Perhaps a flight to Calgary or a trip to Florida with the kids for a week. In all the above cases you were pleased with the service and price that your travel agent was prepared prepared to offer you and satisfied that you had made a good deal on your trip. A concerned, conscientious travel agent will ask one more question; probably probably the most important one of the hour spent together. You do not feel you need it so you generally shrug your shoulders shoulders and say "NO, we are going to go anyway". She is asking about INSURANCE for your trip. Insurance takes all forms from cancellation to package insurance, INSURANCE IS IN FACT, YOUR MOST IMPORTANT TRAVEL PURCHASE! TYavcl Insurance is like a shield that guards you against unforeseen unforeseen circumstances like sickness or any unlikely occurrence that would put a crimp in your travel plans. The extent of the insurance, and options should be explained by your agent but it in fact is not a bad investment considering that it costs only a few dollars as compared to the total cost of your holiday. An example to consider: You and the family have booked a week long Cruise over the March: Break. The TOTAL cost of the holiil day, for the four of you would bc- $5056.00! Package Insurance for the' family would be $240.00. You said that you did not need insurance! The evening before your flight was to depart you have an car infection and the doctor said that you cannot fly for 5 days ... what do you think the total loss of your trip would be? If your agent does not advise you about insurance, she is not doing you a service. Ask for it or find an agent who will!
