************ Fundraising Department *************


The Fundraising Department is always looking for volunteers or for
people who can advise on Fund Raising events (if they have done them
before, etc). If you feel that you would be interested in helping in
this area please contact Jo Fick, our Volunteer Coordinator and she
will send you the necessary volunteer form.

The following is a list of our ongoing Fundraising projects:
*  Carissa Haston, President/Webmaster, is sponsoring a fundraiser
    based on someone you know has GP". This fundraiser involves
    gathering information from patients with GP, as well as a
    picture, and personalizing cards and donor forms for each
    patient to send to his/her loved ones in an effort to raise
    support from those closest to them.
*  Ink jet cartridge recycling is available and we all can
    contribute to this. Just tell or ask anyone to collect his or
    her print cartridges. G-PACT members can send them in to the
    company at no cost and receive a profit for our time. If you are
    interested in this, you can e-mail fundraising@g-pact.org for a
    list of cartridges and prices for each. The company sends us the
    mailing supplies and postage, which means that G-PACT doesn't
    have to put any money into the project and still be able to
    receive reimbursements.
*  Cookbooks: We have recipes coming in, asking everyone for them
    and getting a good response. Please continue to send them in.
    They don't have to be from GPer's only; they can be a favorite
    one of a family member, relative or friend. You may e-mail your
    recipe/recipes to the Fundraising Department at
    fundraising@g-pact.org
