Encourage Others 
   

You are encouraged to support all of your colleagues in the arts throughout their musical and arts journey. We hope to see more of you at our events.

We ask that every member, both younger and the older "ambassador" members, spread the word in their schools and communities about YAF and the work we do to support and promote visual and performing artists. Share how we raise funds for The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation & for other worthwhile causes.

While word of mouth is the best recommendation there is, showing someone what we are all about is even better (and more fun)! Ask them to join you at an event, or simply encourage them to go. Hang posters.... You get the idea...

We plan on doing the same for you as well. We have a lot planned for spreading our mission & that of our members in 2013.

We'll get into this more depth right after the new year.

We have not come anywhere close to meeting our goal this past year!

Studies tell us that a huge number of folks wait till the end of the year to make their donations. The Holiday spirit prevails.

We need to reach out to them in a big way!

Frankly, we need your help!   

Use all your online sharing tools and word of mouth to get our need out to your community. You will see some ideas in this email.

However you touch base with them to let them know we need their support is what matters here.

Your participation in our efforts to share our mission and to raise funds for our group is greatly appreciated!!
More than I can say..

Together we can grow--but we can't do it alone.

We are one and we need to support each other.

As always, just email with any suggestion a/o questions.

Happy Holidays to all!

See you at the Dec. 26th event!

Thank you most sincerely for your help,

Barry

 
Following this email you will receive three others:

1. First is a pre-written support request email that you can send to your supporters, your family, your friends.. anyone & everyone you think would be interested in supporting our group.  

You can send it as is by forwarding it (reminder: remove the 'FW:' from the new subject line), you can use the social toolbar to share it, and/or you can edit & sent it by copying and pasting it into your email program. The images in this entire email can be copied as well for your HTML email program, if you have one.

2. Next is the email that YAF is sending to our own group of supporters. Send this to folks you don't know quite as well.

Which emails and how you choose to use them, is up to you.

Please Send These Emails! It's Very Important!

3. Lastly is the email we are sending to promote the Holiday concert event.

It is the final fund raiser for the year and we need to have a great turn out.

Let's get these promoted together!
