Tina's
church is trying to raise money to install a new air conditioning unit. Her Pastor
asked her to find some volunteers to assist her conduct the fund raiser that
should begin immediately.
Tina's Pastor informed her that he had been making
calls in there community for quotes and the cheapest quote he had received was
$12,735.50. And that price was reached after nine days of persistent haggling
with the contractor. Her Pastor further informs her that it would be really
nice if the church could have the AC unit installed before the first Sunday
which is in just two weeks. He also informs her that he is going to ask the
contractor to begin installing the new unit in seven days so that the unit
would be in time for mass on the first Sunday. Tina's Pastor knows that she is
a savvy fund raiser and by giving her a little incentive she just might produce
another fund raising miracle.
Tina went on the internet and began a search for business
promotional items. She was looking for things that were small, very cheap, and
would be very effective in promoting the local businesses in her community. She
found a website that prints a business name, address, and telephone number on a
pen of various designs. She then started going door-to-door to businesses in
her community explaining that she is raising money to install a new AC unit in
her church. And she carried a similar pen in her purse which she showed to each
business owner as she offered to print their business names on pens and distribute
them to every member at her church, if they would oblige to make a donation.
Tina was excited to find that the businesses in her community was so thrilled
with her proposition and nobility that her staff were able to meet their fund
raising goal in just five days.
Thanks to Tina's savvy business skills along with her dedication and faith, she
and her staff managed to deliver yet another fund raising miracle. Her Pastor
was again amazed at the way she just keep coming up with ways to help the church
recover from difficult financial situations. Tina is commended yet again for
her outstanding service to her church and community.
