enabling OREF to fulfill its mission.• Face-to-face contact to ask friends and
colleagues to contribute to the Annual Fund is most effective.
• Encourage $1,000 to OREF for Sustaining Order of Merit-level; regular Order of Merit for $500+ gift to OREF as part of $1,000 gift split with OPs.
• Suggest an increase over previous gift.
