Refer a Friend or Family Member
We’ve decided not to set a goal for the number of members we hope to achieve, since every new member is a success and a cause for celebration!
At the same time, the higher our numbers are, the better, since the need for monetary support among underserved populations in the county is large and ever-increasing, and we already have a substantial list of possibilities for our future initiatives.
We believe that the key is SPREADING THE WORD. We also think the personal touch is essential. We imagine you’d agree that there are MANY women in the county who would wish to join with us, but we’re still a relatively new organization, and they may not have heard about us yet.
Can you help?
Even 15 minutes of your time could make a difference.
If you know of a prospective member, we recommend that she visit this website to learn more about us (and possibly join on the donation page). If you wish to share her name and contact information with us, we’ll send her a personal letter and a sign-up form. It could be that simple.
The important thing to remember is that women are almost always pleased to be asked, whether or not they join. And the “ask” can be easy and friendly; no pressure. Whatever feels right to you.
Another idea is to sponsor in part or whole a family member, friend, or acquaintance who may not be able to afford the fee.
Please keep in mind:
• Some members prefer to give financial support without participating actively in our work. Any involvement beyond a monetary contribution is voluntary.
• Also, because we’re a nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status, all contributions are tax-deductible as permissible by law.
• And it would be helpful to us to receive the names of the women you approach, so we don’t duplicate requests. Just let us know at [email protected] or give us a call and leave a message
THANK YOU!
I love to talk up 99 GAL Friends whenever I’m out and about. Often people ask what I’m doing lately, and I tell them! I keep a stack of our brochures in my car and handbag, and they impress people. It’s good for folks to take home something concrete. We’ll gladly send brochures to you if you wish. Just contact us at [email protected] or give us a call as below. ~Mary Lukehart, Membership Team
