Are you up to the VRA Travel Award Committee's November Member Challenge?
To coincide with this year’s VRA membership renewal, the VRA Travel Awards Committee is delighted to introduce to you [drum-roll…..] the November Member Challenge!The challenge to us all, the membership, is to raise at least $850 in travel award donations from now until November 30. If we reach or (dare we even suggest) exceed this figure, we will be rewarded with an extra travel award in this year’s cycle*. This amazing offer comes courtesy of an anonymous donor who has pledged to match our travel award fundraising efforts, dollar for dollar, during the period from now until November 30.If we meet our target, the TA committee would like to dedicate this extra award in honor of the founder of the VRA Travel Awards, Luraine Tansey, 01/29/1918 - 06/18/2014.It’s easy to donate – simply go to the VRA Membership ‘Join’ page and select ‘Separate Donations and Chapter Membership’. Sign in to MemberClicks and enter the amount of your donation, large or small (every little helps!) in the Tansey Travel Award Donation box. If you are renewing your individual membership, you can donate via this form too. Just think, if everyone gave the equivalent of two to three coffees’ worth….You can make your payment by credit card or check, and as long as you hit the ‘Submit’ button by November 30, your donation will have helped to secure an all-important additional award to support one of you, our members, in attending the forthcoming conference in Denver, Colorado.So don’t delay – donate today and help us meet the Challenge!Here are Marcia and Allan who will run through that with us once more http://vimeo.com/109474497(you can watch this again from the VRA Travel Awards committee webpage if you prefer)Keep watching the VRA-L for progress updates….Yours in anticipation,Vicky and Jeannine (Travel Awards Committee Co-Chairs)*(N.B. If we fail to reach the $850 target (but “No,” we hear you cry) donations will be rolled back into the Tansey fund and that extra award will evade us.)
