MINUTES OF MEETING NATIONAL LOG A LOAD FOR KIDS ADVISORY GROUP Holiday Inn Opryland/Airport Hotel October 14, 1997 Nashville, Tennessee 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM WELCOME AND INTRODUCTIONS National Log A Load For Kids Advisory Group Co-Chair Janet Seaman called the meeting to order, welcomed the group, and called for self-introductions. CHILDREN’S MIRACLE NETWORK
ORGANIZATION Tim McInnis, CMN Director of Association Relations and Log A Load For Kids liaison, complimented the group on the success of the Log A Load For Kids program. He stated that the 1997 Log A Load For Kids program’s $2 million fundraising total ranked seventh among more than 30 CMN national sponsors this year. Tim stated that Log A Load’s success provides a model for other association CMN sponsors to follow, and he believed that Log A Load has the potential to become one of CMN’s top 3 hospital donors. Tim emphasized CMN’s commitment to assure that 100% of the money raised goes to local CMN hospitals. He encouraged the group to keep program priorities focused on the children who benefit from Log A Load For Kids. Last year, the 165 CMN non-profit hospitals in the U.S. and Canada provided $2.5 billion in charity care, and CMN raised $152.8 million for these hospitals. Tim reaffirmed CMN’s willingness to assist with the Log A Load For Kids program; perhaps in developing fundraising ideas, working with vendors to Log A Load donors, providing "thank-you" posters, etc. 1997 CMN NATIONAL BROADCAST Meeting participants viewed the 1997 National Log A Load For Kids check presentation by Betsy Luoto of Oregon and David Roberts of Mississippi. The $2 million check was presented during the CMN National Broadcast at Disney World on Sunday, June 1. Betsy and David commented that it is important to stick to one or two key messages during the presentation, yet be flexible enough to handle the CMN host’s questions or any last-minute changes requested by broadcast directors. The following policy, as adopted by the National Log A Load Advisory Group in 1996, is the guideline for determining the Log A Load check presentation at the May 30-31, 1998 CMN National Broadcast: The CMN Broadcast check will be presented by two individuals. The state that raises the most money for Log A Load For Kids in the current year will provide one person to present the check at the National Broadcast the following year, with the constraint that an individual state is only eligible to appear at the National "Telethon" every four years. The second individual to assist with the check presentation will be from a state selected by the Log A Load For Kids Advisory Group Chairman in consultation with the CMN/APA staff liaison. North Carolina will provide one person to present the check at the 1998 CMN National Broadcast, since it raised the most money for Log A Load For Kids in 1997. INDIVIDUAL STATE REPORTS FOR 1997 AND 1998 Co-Chair Janet Seaman called on Advisory Group members and representatives to report on their 1997 Log A Load For Kids activities and to discuss plans for their respective 1998 Log A Load state programs. Following is a state-by-state summary of reports. ALABAMA - Jean Ash and Bill Jones reported on Alabama’s highly successful 1997 program which raised $392,558. Meeting attendees viewed Alabama’s promotional video and TV coverage of Log A Load activities. One of Alabama’s most successful promotional events was its Logger Appreciation Day and Legislative Log-In which included a truck convoy through the state capitol and a presentation by Alabama’s Governor. The Alabama Forestry Association and Alabama Loggers Council conducted 4 golf tournaments which collectively raised over $100,000. Raffles were also successful; a raffle of a 1965 Ford Mustang raised nearly $20,000 net in 1997. Janet Seaman reported that Seaman Timber Company mailed donation request letters to all its vendors and business associates. Approximately $15,000 was raised through these solicitations. Jean Ash reported that AFA/ALC promotes Log A Load by selecting a "Poster Kid," or "Miracle Child." The media give a lot of attention to these children. Jean recommended that any poster kid be at least 4 years old. AFA and ALC cover Log A Load For Kids in every newsletter. Alabama’s fundraising efforts are divided among ten districts, with friendly competition among the districts to raise the most money for Log A Load. Alabama’s fundraising goal for 1998 is $400,000. ARKANSAS - Anna Swaim reported on Arkansas’ highly successful 1997 program which raised $150,000. Arkansas Logger of the Year Jerry Hartline presented the CMN Broadcast check, and many forestry community volunteers staffed the phone banks for 2 hours. Both the Arkansas Forestry Association (AFA) and the Arkansas Timber Producers Association (ATPA) assist with Log A Load, and the funds are administered through an educational foundation. Because Log A Load is one of the top fundraising programs for the Arkansas CMN hospital, Log A Load is featured in the CMN hospital’s quarterly magazine. Arkansas’ many fundraising events included a golf tournament, several dinners, live auctions, raffles, and traditional log auctions. Events received excellent publicity through local newspapers and radio. One of Arkansas’ most successful fundraisers was a special multi-activity event that raised over $34,000. This event culminated in a banquet where local businesses and individuals "bought" tables at $400 each. Before the banquet, a logging equipment show, silent auction, 4-wheeler raffle, log auction, and t-shirt and baseball cap sales were conducted. The local bowhunters club also sponsored a shooting event several days before this activity, with the proceeds going toward Log A Load. The final banquet events included a live auction, door prizes, and speeches from families whose lives had been touched by the hospital. Arkansas’ Log A Load steering committee includes 55 people. Plans are to meet in December to set the 1998 goal. Unofficially, it is expected to be more than $150,000. Arkansas’ 1998 plans include increased direct mail solicitations to AFA members, sending letters to companies’ senior management asking for their support and employee participation, promoting Log A Load on AFA’s Internet site (afa@arkforests.org) and linking it to other Log A Load related sites. Other activities include increased participation and promotion from the AFA Logger of the Year and placing billboards throughout the state. Also, one coordinator is working on planning a country and western music concert. CALIFORNIA - Christine Charlton and Charlotte Smith reported that the Associated California Loggers are enthusiastically beginning their first-ever Log A Load campaign. They are tentatively aiming to raise $25,000 for 1998. FLORIDA - Florida’s many fundraising events and donations raised $107,000 for Log A Load during 1997. Florida has not yet stated an official goal for 1998, but it is expected to be greater than the 1997 amount raised. GEORGIA - Hank Bauer reported on Georgia’s 1997 program that raised $109,727. Most of Georgia’s Log A Load funds were raised through special events. 1997 campaign fundraisers included 7 golf tournaments, an equipment auction, dove shoot, sporting clay/skeet shoot, bowling tournament, 4-wheeler raffle, and firewood raffle. Georgia’s fundraising efforts are split into 4 districts, with each district setting its own Log A Load fundraising goal. Georgia will set its 1998 goal at its November 6 kickoff meeting. 1998 plans will include sending letters to companies’ middle management requesting 1-2 staff from each organization to work with Log A Load: "If the boss says to get involved, they do it." Georgia will also renew its focus on distributing pledge cards. For example, Georgia-Pacific encloses pledge cards in stumpage settlements to loggers. Georgia will also focus more fundraising efforts on the southwest region of the state. KENTUCKY - Bob Bauer reported that Kentucky raised $3,500 during 1997, the first year Kentucky became involved. This money was raised from a raffle of a load of logs at the Kentucky Forest Industries Association (KFIA) Annual Meeting in March. Kentucky is focusing its 1998 efforts on recruiting area Log A Load leaders from across the state, and it has produced a promotional brochure with a pledge/donation sheet. In June, the Log A Load For Kids committee set a goal of $26,500 to be raised for the 1998 program to bring a total donation of $30,000 over two years. This amount will fund a project at the Lexington CMN hospital to develop an interactive tree in the center of the recreational and rehabilitation room. KFIA will be involved with the final project design which will help children enjoy and learn about the importance of wood. LOUISIANA - The Louisiana Forestry Association and Louisiana Loggers Council raised $12,750 for Log A Load For Kids in 1997. One of Louisiana’s 1998 fundraising events will be a golf tournament in conjunction with the American Pulpwood Association Annual Meeting to be held in New Orleans March 7-10, 1998. MAINE - The Professional Logging Contractors (PLC) of Maine raised $21,000 in 1997. PLC reports that the program still needs to be promoted to a much wider audience within the state. One plan for spreading publicity in 1998 is to arrange an across-the-state bicycle trek to benefit Log A Load, asking companies to provide team participants, and seeking sponsors to donate money for each team. The bicycle participants will be wearing Log A Load For Kids t-shirts. PLC also plans to participate in the American Lung Association’s bicycle "Tour de Cure" wearing Log A Load promotional t-shirts. MARYLAND - Dave Wigglesworth of the Maryland RC&D Council reported on Maryland’s 1997 program which raised $2,695. Maryland’s program is run entirely by volunteers, with no association staff individuals dedicated to Log A Load. Maryland plans to schedule special fundraising events for 1998 and to promote Log A Load at its Master Logger workshops. MINNESOTA - Lorrie Firm reported on Minnesota’s first-time Log A Load campaign which raised $21,734 in 1997. Eighty percent of this total was raised through individual logger donations. Associated Contract Loggers of Minnesota sent letters to 1,000 loggers and 400 vendors or companies in 1997. Increased industry and vendor support is expected for 1998. Log A Load has brought loggers and companies together to work for a common cause. Minnesota initiated its inagural campaign with a log truck promotion and tour at the hospital, with some media coverage. Since the 1997 CMN Broadcast, Minnesota has already conducted a silent auction, a golf tournament, and a special timber harvesting event on 20 acres of stumpage donated by Potlatch Corporation. The Potlatch event used donated timber, logger-donated labor, and harvesting machines loaned by equipment dealers to raise $20,000 for Log A Load. This fundraising event, which was covered by the media, demonstrated different harvesting systems. In addition, 30 children toured the harvesting operation and had an opportunity to observe different stages of regeneration on adjacent tracts. The children and a Cub Scout Troop also participated in tree planting activities. This event has been publicized in APA Log A Load For Kids Special Event Release 97-L-3. Future funding for the administrative portion of Minnesota’s Log A Load program is uncertain. Minnesota aims to raise $50,000 in 1998. MISSISSIPPI - David Roberts reported on Mississippi’s 1997 program which raised $50,000 for Log A Load. Mississippi is divided into 6 fundraising districts, each conducting special fundraising events including several summer festivals involving vendors with booth displays, and raffling of items such as 4-wheelers and guns. Mississippi plans to conduct a golf tournament in 1998. The Mississippi Loggers Association has produced a Log A Load For Kids calendar which raised over $30,000. The calendar contains photos of a log truck with a Log a Load banner. Each district has purchased ads in the calendar, and many other people purchased advertising space. David is seeking photographs of old-time logging operations for inclusion in the next calendar. Bill Boyce suggested that drawings from kids in local CMN hospitals also would make excellent calendar pictures. David reports that "DOT dunking booths" are excellent fundraisers in small communities. Loggers and others enjoy purchasing the opportunity to dunk a Dept. of Transportation Officer, and it helps promote good relations between log truckers and the Mississippi DOT. Mississippi’s unofficial 1998 fundraising goal is $100,000. MISSOURI - The Missouri Forest Products Association began Log A Load for the first time in 1997, and it raised $1,000. MONTANA - The Montana Logging Association began Log A Load for the first time in 1997, and it raised $32,278. Montana’s logging industry has been hit hard by Federal timber set-asides and extemely poor winter weather, but the Montana loggers are still enthusiastic about Log a Load. NORTH CAROLINA - Stacie Lingle, Buddy Shavender, Lil’ Joe Wetherington, Pat Austin, and Forrest Lewis reported on North Carolina’s outstanding Log A Load program which raised $430,800 in 1997, surpassing all other states’ individual totals for 1997. Log A Load was the largest individual sponsor/donor ever at the Charlotte and Greenville CMN hospitals in 1997. Meeting participants viewed North Carolina’s promotional video and coverage of local CMN broadcasts and promotional events. One of North Carolina’s largest fundraisers was an equipment auction where over 100 items were donated. Additional fundraising events included a raffle of a Harley Davidson motorcycle, an Explorer raffle, 4 golf tournaments, and a "Klays for Kids" sporting clay shoot. George Ragsdale also initiated a "chip challenge" where he offered a $100,000 match for donations from businesses that involved chips or chipping, residuals, and bark. Another successful event has been companies’ hosting "mill days" where vendors bring in equipment, companies provide a meal for wood suppliers, and raffle tickets are sold. Setting up raffle items by the mill gate has been successful in motivating mill employees to purchase raffle tickets. Buddy Shavender reported that Peerless plans to build two chip vans specially for Log A Load For Kids. The vans will be red, white, and blue and will have Log A Load signs on them. These chip vans will be sold at the Richmond, Virginia Equipment Expo, May 8-9, 1998. The purchaser of the chip vans will designate the state Log A Load program to receive the proceeds from the sale. Approximately 25 people in North Carolina do most of the work on Log A Load, but many others participate. The North Carolina Forestry Association produces Log A Load brochures and sells Log A Load license plates for $5.00. In addition, NCFA has sold toy log trucks for $75, with the proceeds going to CMN hospitals. George Ragsdale reported that he is attempting to work out a program where the vendors at the Richmond Equipment Expo donate an extra portion beyond their Expo entry fee requirements to Log A Load For Kids. In return, the vendors would receive a sign stating, "I support Log A Load For Kids." North Carolina’s 1998 fundraising goal is $500,000. OHIO - Jim Lee, the Ohio Forestry Association’s new Executive Director, reported on Ohio’s 1997 program which raised $22,888. Jim reported that Ohio will increase efforts to recruit many local Log A Load chairman instead of merely a statewide chairman. Ohio plans to conduct golf tournaments, a silent auction, and raffles. Jim also inquired whether APA would produce Log A Load promotional mudflaps. Richard Lewis responded that APA will research this proposal and respond back to Advisory Group members in the near future. Ohio’s 1998 fundraising goal is $50,000. OREGON - Betsy Luoto reported on Oregon’s program which raised $80,766 in 1997. Meeting participants viewed Oregon’s promotional video showing how to donate and how to get involved in Oregon’s Log A Load program. Another video highlighted the Associated Oregon Loggers’ highly successful "Mr. Log A Load" benefit event held at AOL’s convention. Seven Executive Board contestants "performed" and were judged on talent, gym wear, and poise/personality. The winner was chosen based on the amount of contributions pledged or donated by the audience in support of the contestants. This Mr. Log A Load event raised $38,500 in donations. Raffles in Oregon generally resulted in a large amount of time and effort expended compared to the amount of money raised. Betsy Luoto stated that it is important to budget/invest money into fundraising and publicity in order to raise substantial funds for CMN hospitals. Oregon has produced "Bury the Log Truck" donation boxes--clear, plexiglass "piggy banks" with a wooden log truck inside. The boxes encourage people to cover up the log truck with their cash donations. In 1998, Oregon plans to conduct a kids coloring contest with the winning contestants’ drawings to be put on a Log A Load calendar and perhaps made into Christmas cards. Also, the voice of the University of Oregon Ducks is donating his time for 72 Log A Load radio spots; the only expense from these radio announcements will be the radio station’s fee. Betsy mentioned that it is important to recruit skilled/comfortable presenters for local telethon check presentations. Oregon’s 1998 fundraising goal is $100,000. PENNSYLVANIA - The Pennsylvania timber harvesting and forest products community raised $30,000 for Log A Load For Kids in 1997. SOUTH CAROLINA - South Carolina, where the Log A Load concept originated in 1988, raised $196,200 for Log A Load in 1997. South Carolina raised money through several golf tournaments and an APA/South Carolina Forestry Association clay shoot. However, the bulk of South Carolina’s money is still raised from logger’s individual donations and personal contacts. South Carolina’s plans for the 1998 program include a "Governor’s trail ride," sponsored by the South Carolina Horseman’s Council, to donate the proceeds from this special event to the Log A Load For Kids campaign (see APA Special Event Release 97-L-4). TENNESSEE - Tony Reeves and Wayne Turner reported on Tennessee’s program which raised $51,676 in 1997. Wayne Turner reported that many of these funds were donated from loggers who entered into stumpage deduction agreements with mills to collect their Log A Load For Kids donations on a year-around or seasonal basis. Tony Reeves reported that hospital tours are successful in building support among Log A Load organizers for the program. Tony also reported on the Tennessee Forestry Association’s "Master Logger Day" where 70 loggers visited their state legislators in Nashville. He commented that this will become an annual event; there may be an opportunity for loggers to promote Log A Load in conjunction with this visit. VIRGINIA - Jim Mooney and Steven Calhoun reported on Virginia’s highly successful 1997 campaign which raised $200,000. Meeting participants viewed a video showing local CMN broadcasts, Log A Load publicity on a TV weather forecast, and Jim Mooney and the Virginia Loggers Council’s participation in Charlottesville’s Dogwood Festival Parade. During one CMN broadcast, Jim Mooney conducted a raffle drawing and was able to make some great "sound bite" statements. Virginia raised $21,000 from the raffle of a donated Mitsubishi Spyder sports car and $5,000 from the raffle of a house. Virginia’s Log A Load leaders feel that high-priced tickets for expensive raffle items may bring in funds from the same people who would contribute even if there were no raffle. Jim Mooney reported that Log A Load was the top donor for the Charlottesville CMN hospital this past year. Virginia successfully conducted truck convoys with escorts and hospital tours accompanied by the media. Also, donating wooden log trucks and other toys to kids at CMN hospitals has been very rewarding: "The smiles from the kids are worth a million dollars," said Steven Calhoun. Virginia has not yet announced an official fundraising goal for 1998, but it will probably exceed the 1997 total raised. WASHINGTON - George Kirkmire reported on the Washington Contract Loggers Association’s second- year Log A Load fundraising efforts which raised $42,000 in 1997. Meeting participants viewed WCLA’s promotional video and portions of local CMN Broadcasts. George reported that Log A Load helps the loggers and the forest industry gain high moral ground: Environmental groups are not involved in such community benefit programs and tend to back off from groups involved in Log A Load activities. WCLA sells wooden log trucks for $25 to loggers and to the general public, and it donates the net proceeds to Log A Load. WCLA also donates toys and wooden log trucks to CMN hospital kids. WCLA’s 1997 raffle of a rifle at its Annual Meeting raised $5,000. Currently, WCLA is struggling to enlist more support from large forest products corporations. Other Log A Load Advisory Group participants suggested two effective ways to encourage more donations from large companies: One way is to ask them to donate purchased items for raffles, and the other method is to apply for donations from corporate foundations. Another suggestion was for companies to pick up scattered logs left on logging decks with a self-loading log truck and to donate the proceeds from this delivered wood to Log A Load. Washington’s 1998 fundraising goal is $80,000. WEST VIRGINIA - West Virginia’s 1997 Log A Load program raised $18,510. The 1998 program is expected to raise at least $50,000. Much of this ($34,300) has already been raised from a log auction at a forest festival/logging fair. The West Virginia Mountain Loggers Group reports that the Log A Load program is rapidly gaining support throughout the state. WISCONSIN/MICHIGAN - Debby Blomberg reported on the Log A Load program in Wisconsin and Michigan which collectively raised $22,300 for 7 CMN hospitals in 1997. Meeting participants viewed the Lake States regional Log A Load promotional video which was produced at a cost of $1,200. Lake States Women In Timber, the Log A Load sponsoring organization, has produced a new promotional brochure and a fact sheet for media events. The brochure has been sent to 2,500 loggers, given out at mills’ scale houses, and distributed at loggers conferences. Most donations have come from this type of promotion. The Wisconsin and Michigan Timber Producers Association now features a different CMN child in each issue of its magazine. One successful fundraising event was a foresters dunk tank where loggers paid $1 per throw to attempt to dunk a forester in the water, or $5 to continue throwing until the forester was dunked. Debby reported that some loggers took turns sitting in the dunk tank. This event helped to improve logger/forester relations, and it raised $2,500. Other fundraising events included Blount, Inc. donating matching funds from its loader competition entry fees at logging expos; 100% matching of wood supplier donations by Consolidated Papers; encouraging landowners and truckers to donate the value (to them) of a load of logs harvested. Debby reported that several Lake States forestry and logging groups are now involved in Log A Load. Therefore, Lake States Women In Timber will no longer be the lead association for Log A Load. Debby reminded meeting participants that TV stations are required to air public service announcements occasionally. This would provide a great opportunity for the Log A Load program to receive some publicity. OTHER STATES - Rick Meyer reported that New York’s Empire State Forest Products Association expects to begin a Log A Load program, but it may not start until after the 1998 CMN Broadcast. He also reported that the Texas Logging Council may begin a Log A Load program; however, TLC already raises money for other children’s charities, and Log A Load would merely be an add-on to TLC’s already successful, worthy fundraising causes. Rick also reported that Indiana has been considering Log A Load for a year or two but has not yet made a firm commitment. (Note: Since the October 14th meeting, APA has received word that the Indiana Hardwood Lumbermen’s Association and Indiana Forest Industries Council are likely to initiate a 1998 Log A Load For Kids program.) ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION AND SUGGESTIONS Darlis Clausen, CMN Director in St. Paul, Minnesota, suggested that Log A Load campaigns direct more efforts toward publicizing the program on the radio, since so many people spend a lot of time in their vehicles. Darlis provided other suggestions: A wild game fundraising dinner, a dress-up fundraising dinner, a "Mr. Legs" contest, delivering wooden apples or small wooden items to the media along with a press release to grab their attention and make them more likely to attend a Log A Load event. Joe Wetherington suggested that Log A Load campaigns ask more people to participate in Log A Load and consider asking more landowners to give a timber deed to benefit Log A Load. Bill Boyce invited Advisory Group members to visit the Log A Load web site at http://www.charleston.net/org/logaload/. Representatives from Oregon and Washington each volunteered $100 to help fund the Log A Load website new domain registration fee. Jean Ash has identified a company that will stock Log A Load items such as t-shirts and caps in bulk and will fill small orders upon request. Contact Jean Ash if interested. Janet Seaman requested volunteers to give Log A Load presentations at state association meetings, especially where an association is just beginning the program or struggling to improve its fundraising efforts. Janet asked that anyone who is willing to assist in this area contact Rick Meyer. Tim McInnis explained that Log A Load is now eligible for one CMN celebrity event appearance this year due to its having raised $2 million nationally. The CMN celebrity would not be paid for this appearance, but all travel and accomodation expenses must be covered. The estimated cost for these expenses is $2,000-$4,000. Tim also mentioned that a celebrity appearance may be possible in an additional case where a single special event is expected to raise more than $100,000. Some meeting participants requested a list of the CMN celebrities available for these appearances. POSSIBLE LOG A LOAD PROMOTIONAL CROSS-COUNTRY Bill Boyce discussed a proposal that he and a dealer for a national truck manufacturer are working on to acquire a donated log truck for use in a possible cross-country log truck trip to promote Log A Load. This trip could raise funds by selling raffle tickets ($100/ticket) for the truck, which could be given away in a raffle drawing after the truck passed through participating Log A Load states and made its way to Orlando before the National CMN Broadcast. Each state would be free to sell raffle tickets if interested, in accordance with its state’s legal requirements. The money raised from donations for tickets in various states would go to their respective CMN hospitals. Bill Boyce reported that he may know by the end of 1997 whether the national truck manufacturer will donate a log truck. At last year’s meeting, a task group consisting of Jim Mooney, Hank Bauer, Betsy Luoto, Jean Ash, and Jonathan Parker was formed to help with the logistics of planning a cross-country trip if it is carried out. This year, Buddy Shavender also agreed to assist with some of the logistics and planning. SELECTION OF 1998 ADVISORY GROUP MEETING LOCATION APA President Richard Lewis and APA Division Forester Rick Meyer recommended that, due to the steadily increasing attendance at the annual Log A Load National Advisory Group meeting, next year’s meeting should be held over two days. One day would be an open forum or conference devoted to reporting, information-sharing, and brainstorming among participating states and CMN representatives. A briefer, separate meeting of the National Advisory Group would be held on the previous day, with the Advisory Group providing a report and recommendation to the overall group during its forum or conference session. George Ragsdale offered to host the 1998 National Advisory Group Meeting/Log A Load Conference at a location in Virginia in mid-October. George’s offer was accepted by meeting participants. Oregon and Washington also offered to host a future Advisory Group Meeting/Conference. George Ragsdale recommended that the Log A Load group plan a special event or promotion for Log A Load in 1998, since it will mark the 10-year anniversary of the program. INTRODUCTION OF NEW ADVISORY GROUP CHAIRMAN Outgoing National Advisory Group Co-Chair Janet Seaman announced that she and Jim Seaman felt privileged to have served as Co-Chairs for two years. She stated that Log A Load has given them a sense of joy and that it has been spiritually satisfying. Janet stressed the importance of maintaining the unity within the forest industry over this program. She also requested that Jim Mooney consider appearing before the AF&PA Board of Directors to enlist more support for Log A Load For Kids from company CEOs. Janet Seaman announced that Jim Mooney, the long-standing co-chair of Virginia’s Log A Load program, would become the new National Log A Load For Kids Advisory Group Chairman. There was National Log A Load For Kids Advisory Group consensus to collectively adopt a $2.5 million fundraising goal for 1998. The Advisory Group Meeting was adjourned at 3:00 PM.
