A new responsibility comes from a key component of the grant that we become able
to sustain this level of effort once the grant ends in about 18 months. This is
not a free flowing gift, it is a seed to get our program growing and fully accepted
and recognized throughout the Mohawk Valley. We need a part-time person to
devote focused effort in what is typically called 'program development'. The
effort is basically one of community relations/fiscal development/public awareness.
Though we never expect nor want to become as large as the Heart Walk, we need
to be as readily recognized to folks with a need, to volunteers, to financial
donors and to corporate outreach groups. And finally, there is a responsibility
added to each of you, our current individual financial supporters. We
must continue our financial stability year-round. The Christmas giving season
is a tremendous lift spiritually, emotionally and financially. But we cannot have
a full time program operate successfully without year round support. We are
asking you to see if there is a way to help us on a continuing basis. Simply
put, regular donations are critical to Your Neighbors, Inc.
