ALI HOSTS SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISER
The Adult Learning Institute at Columbia-Greene Community College
in Hudson, New York hosted a very successful fundraiser this past
spring. In the first part of the fundraiser they raised $763 by
selling raffle tickets. Three prizes were donated by Board members.
In the second part of the fundraiser, an Appraisal Day, people
began arriving at noon and folding chairs had to be added to seat
the crowd. By 1:30 p.m. they had admitted almost fifty people and
know they could not accommodate any more in order to have the appraisers
finished by 4 p.m. During the afternoon, they had to turn away fifteen
more “customers.” Many people asked how soon they would
have another Appraisal Day.
Since their appraisers donated their time and talent to ALI, the
program realized a total profit on the appraisals of $497. Their
only expense for the entire fund raiser was $45 for the newspaper
advertisement.
