Hi all,
I think it would be great if those of us who are interested in being delegates in the People to People Citizen Ambassadors trip to China worked together to raise funds. Here are some thoughts I’ve had so far:

• Should our focus be on fundraising as a group and then splitting the funds, or on providing information to those who want to fundraise individually?
• We could hold some kind of event to benefit those who are actively fundraising for their own expenses.
• We could contact other organizations as a chapter to seek funds, rather than individually.

Here is  a link to the site that has an itenerary for the trip:  http://www.ambassadorprograms.org/upcomingprograms/science_tech/oestreich-linda_10-2008.asp.

Here are some books that PtoP recommends as fundraising resources:
