The Expansion Task Force (ETF) has hired Ketchum Canada Inc. (KCI) - a leading fundraising firm to conduct a preliminary Planning Study in June 2007.
KCI will carry out a series of in-depth, confidential interviews with a wide cross-section of parishioners. Prospective interviewees will soon receive an invitation by mail. The interviews will explore such issues as the institutional image of St.Isidore Parish, the degree of support for the proposed project, the accessibility of pacesetting gifts, the availability of effective leadership and volunteers, and the exact timing of the appeal for donations.
Please be assured that the interviews will be entirely confidential and that no one will be solicited for donations during an interview.
The outcome of the study will allow us to determine the "best campaign strategies" in order to move forward with a strategic community fundraising campaign - in September.
Without question - parishioners are our most valuable resource! We require an extensive and winning team to assist with fundraising. Please join us - we are recruiting "now" for Fall. This is an exciting opportunity for you to embrace a project that will amalgamate, rejuvenate and expand St. Isidore parish!
We have a vision of "your" new church - a place for you and your family to worship in comfort, and to celebrate many happy occasions such as baptisms, confirmations, graduations and weddings.
