Or, if 20 people donated $30, we could do an event like this and reach out to thousands of health conscious New Mexicans.
Would any of you patients, caregivers or friends be willing to volunteer your time to man the booth?
If not this year, then please consider this for next year.
Plan B:
You all should go to this event to learn about health resources in New Mexico. So....
If we cannot attend as Exhibitors this year, then I encourage all of you to go as attendees and wear your Vasculitis Foundation T-Shirts. If you know you are going, then come to the January meeting and I can give you one of the few older T-Shirts I have left, or you can purchase Awareness gear from the VF online store. Those proceeds benefit you indirectly, so don't be shy.
Try to engage some of these other organizations in a dialogue about vasculitis. Tell them about the local chapter and direct them to our local chapter website. Perhaps we can form more active partnerships with local organizations for the future, so our chapter gets invited to more events like this one. Or maybe we can start getting more press, when the media wants to write about health related issues.
BE PREPARED TO TALK ABOUT VASCULITIS EVERYWHERE YOU GO.

The booth fee deadline is tomorrow, and I still have basically $600 to go for the booth fee.
I heard back from two potential booth volunteers, and I think more would be willing once it was a committed deal. Few people like to sign up early for some reason.
We shall go as attendees and plan ahead next year to have this booth fee saved up, or find a sponsor.
I need some local chapter fundraising to get this fee saved up for next year, so look for a hungry cookie jar at the meetings from now on. :o)
