12 The Goose Story Next time you see Geese heading
South for the Winterflying along in V
formationyou might consider why As each bird
flaps its Wings, it creates an Uplift for the
bird immediately following. By flying in V
formation the Flock adds at least 71 greater
flying range, than if each bird flew on its
own. YOUR ORGANIZATION People who share a common
direction and sense of community can get where
they are going more quickly and easily because
they are traveling on the thrust of one another.
13 The Goose Story continued When the Head Goose
gets tired it rotates back in the Wing and
another goose flies Point. YOUR ORGANIZATION It
is sensible to take turns doing demanding jobs
with others in your club/organization to keep
members involved and keep the group moving
forward.
14 The Goose Story continued Geese honk from
behind to Encourage those up front to keep up
their speed YOUR ORGANIZATION What does the
leadership in your organization say when other
members honk from behind?
15Creating and Setting Goals Please take a few
minutes and write down some club/organization
goals that you would like to accomplish in the
coming MONTH, YEAR, FUTURE

21 - Fundraising for Your Organization
- Setting Goals The vital element in any good
fundraising plan is a set of clear, specific, and
articulated goals. A good way to produce these
goals is to meet with all organization members
and your advisor (for historical perspective) and
have a brainstorming session. - Why do you want to/need to raise funds?
- Why do you think someone would give to your
organization? - Who would give? Could you utilize the local
community? Student body? Former students? - Would YOU give to your own organization?
- What is the goal (in dollars) for contributions
for this year? Next year? - What resources are available to your committee?
- How many hours per week is your group willing to
spend towards the fundraising effort? - What fundraising activities were undertaken in
the past? Were they effective? - What are the strengths and talents of the group?
- How will you recognize donations?
