January newsletter

 

Dear Collective 365 Members & Supporters, 

 

The Membership committee has been preparing for a January social media membership drive  starting on January 10th and running through January 22nd to help increase Collective 365’s membership numbers. This will include:

**social media posting

**virtual event: panel and Q&A (see below)

 

This will culminate with a new member meet and greet on February 3rd   

 

Every time a current Collective 365 member recruits a new member, we will enter them into a raffle to win a prize at the end of the membership drive.

 

Please consider making an in-kind donation that will serve as raffle prize to help us with this membership drive. 

 

For example, if you are a photographer, can you offer a free headshot session, if you are a musician, can you offer a free music lesson, if you are in communications, can you offer a communication consultation. 

 

We would also accept donations of gift cards to help support the cause as well. Because our membership spreads out across multiple cities and states, we would encourage gift cards from places that can be accessed regardless of where you live or that can be used for online purchases (try small Black & Brown owned businesses). 

 

Please let us know by January 15th, if you are willing to donate one of your skills, talents, gifts or a gift card to this important membership drive.  If you are willing to make an in-kind donation to our membership drive, please click here to complete this brief Google Form.


 

Thank you!
