Hi All,
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We have started sending Connell a weekly report on our efforts on behalf of AMI from the national office. She suggested that we share these with you so you know what we have been doing!
Andrea and Jacquie attended the Nov. 20th Interfaith Services in Washington, DC at The Greater Mt. Calvary Holy Church, where they distributed
AMI recruitment collateral and acquired several new memberships on site. Jon Cooper, professional photographer, was on site as well capturing the celebration of Service for AMI’s National Mother of the Year, Ernestine Allen.
We are still receiving memberships in conjunction with the fall magazine mailing. We have received several dozen as a result of this membership drive.
We reviewed the “Books for Beginners” presentation that the Nevada Pilot Program is working on with the Bradley Group.
We fulfilled several shipping requests for AMI collateral. We are getting low on Mom to Mom magazines (approx. 100 left). We will need to reprint for the spring.
We are seeking competitive jewelry bids to present at the AMI Jan. board meeting.
We are working on follow up with Sandy on the donation that the interfaith service gave to needy Thanksgiving families, adding a clip from the service to the website, newsletter, etc.
Dianne submitted to the UN Council on Women the AMI statement that outlines the problem of domestic violence against pregnant women. We will be sharing this information with our members in the upcoming magazine.
We are working on convention planning and budgeting so we can drop a mailing and launch the convention website soon. We still need speaker confirmations from Ree Drumond (Connell) and the keynote speaker (Andrea).
We are following up on sponsorship opportunities with Chesapeake Energy. We are working on the collateral for the AMI “Likes” program which will include a page on the website and a flyer.
We submitted the final report for the Dupont Foundation Grant
We are following up on the endowment fund deposit into the AMI general operating funds
