This is a busy productive time for us. This week we will approach BDI about a 20,000 loan for operating capital. We will send out the 2010 press release.
To break even, by December 31 we are looking for:
$10,000 in new Patrons (10 new letters sent our last week, 10 this week)
$10,000 in new SBP's (report below)
$10,000 in Seniors Program sponsor (we meet with Credit Union this week)
$10,000 in Students Program (any suggestions)
And then we're there!
The Five Year Plan Committee met on Friday night: Arnold Smith, Carter Jeffrey, Carol Probert (audience member, church council at N.Rustico). Jackie Torrens will be joining by phone in future
The Building Committee (Maxine, Michael Murphy and Wade MacLauchlan) meets next Monday
Stage Business Partners:
Arnold has approached Marks Work Wear House - will follow up
Arnold has approached another private company
Gracie approached Doirons Landscaping last spring and they suggested that we come back before Christmas, I went into see them yesterday
Gracie approached Island Vacation Rentals, I will follow up today
Mary Crane has approached Mait MacIssac at Learning and Reading Partners Adult Learning System
Mary has approached Sleman park
Gracie Suggests that we should approach Patron Rory Francis to pitch our partnerships with the Bio Alliance of which is the CEO
Carol Cabana says "Yes" she'll do a workshop before Christmas for one evening (for free) and she will help us find the money for a full workshop with the new board members in the winter.
Keep those ideas coming especially about the Stage Business Partners...

The Full Court Press is Back!
Last March, we raised 60,000 in one month. This time around we are looking at doing one month’s intensive work to raise that amount again. This will not only break even in our second season – but let us pay down debt from last year. Amazing possibility! Its within our reach, given your example from last spring and the public reaction to our 2009 season.
Our goal asks each board member to identify one (1) Stage Business Partner between now and Christmas. Anyone who joins this week gets exposure in our national Press Release sent out next week.
The goal is $20,000 a month in October, November and December.
In the month of October, we currently have confirmed $16,500.
Thanks to those who have already sent the Stage Business Partnership packages out to businesses . Please let Duncan know the names and contacts of the people to whom you have sent the packages. He will follow up and make the “ask”. This might be easier than having to ask yourself.
Please follow up yourself if you prefer. Those who like this package, REALLY like it. Four of the five partners from last year have already renewed!
October Currently Confirmed: $16,500.
