Re: Strategic Planning Meeting

To all employees and members this is a letter of intent to inform all employees that the profits was down last year and many families could not be helped due to the shortage of funds that was raised within our business. Without the support of events that will enable us as a whole to raise more funds we will fall short of the goals of helping our community.

As we all know our goal and logo is to help those that cannot help themselves within our community to live better lives. Our company “Catholic Charities” has to come up with way to be able to raise more funds in order to help the people that are in need of help because we are a non-profit organization.

The strategies we have to use to come up with the funds that will be needed to fulfill our needs to the community are as listed:

· Sell Dinners

· Have Car Washes

· Sport Events

Raising money is the key to the company success.
