puts together some ideas.
B. How to Raise Initial Funds
Format of the pledge card was discussed. It was the consensus
of the group to change the pledge cards slightly by changing
the title to "Owasso Golf Pledge Card", provide for several
categories of pledges ($10, $20, $50, $100, Other) instead of
just one ($10), and change the word "contribute" to "donate".
