Secretary's Report to the National Committee
Friends,
The following is the National Secretary's report for the National Committee meeting of October 19. This report summarizes my activities since the last report dated 8/9/2010.
Since then, I have:
- prepared minutes for an Operating Committee meeting.
- prepared minutes for the last meeting of the National Committee, which are pending for approval at the October 19 meeting. These minutes have also been converted to HTML and posted on the party's web site.
- created other new content for the web site, including updating the AGENDA web page, and posting op ed links of interest.
- prepared and mailed 10 FAFP packets to donors.
- sent 22 snail mail letters and packets or packages to people with questions about the party, problems with credit cards, literature, or other miscellaneous matters.
- sent 43 letters to people reminding them of their recurring donation commitments.
- received and shipped 3 AFP Store orders.
- mailed 14 individual membership forms to interested persons.
- mailed 67 personalized "thank-you" letters to donors.
- prepared and mailed 33 newsletters.
- sent out 12 official notices to the National Committee members.
- mailed out membership forms on a recurring basis to those individuals as directed by the Party building members, and received and processed the membership forms as they were returned.
- kept updated the party building web site and database; in addition, removed all duplicates which resulted, and keypunched address corrections from returned mail.
- keypunched in all the contributions received.
- collected orders from the store, donations from the web site, and processed the credit card contributions to the party, and notified those whose cards were rejected.
In addition to my duties as Secretary, I have served on the Rules, PR, and Platform Committees and contributed to their activities as much as possible. In addition, as Treasurer, I have prepared FEC reports and filed them, paid the party's bills and deposited the receipts, and provided the National Committee with full financial reports for its meetings.
Finally, I would urge the state party leaders to continue to provide me with party membership lists for input into the national party database.
If your state party members are not in the database when the next issue of the party newspaper is mailed out, they will not receive a copy.
The current membership lists are available for review on the Party Building web site which is accessible to PB members. Contact info for State Party Members can be sent to me, or preferably, enrolled using the web site. It is important that we have the most up-to-date membership lists in the party database, so that every person can receive the next issue of the newspaper and other party mailings.
Respectfully submitted,
John Pittman Hey
National Secretary
America First Party
