I work with DOULOS Family Services in Princeton, IN. I was the President of the Board when Mike Jones , Mary Sallee and I attended a For Impact conference at Columbus. I was asked to become the Director of Development for DOULOS. One of the things I am working on is this: One of the members of the Board gave me a list of fifty names of couples and individuals who might be potential investors. We want to have a meeting with about 20 people (ie: 10 couples from this list), provide a free meal at a local restaurant, and have a financial advisor who will show them how they can (through a combination of insurance made payable to a non-profit), they can leave money to a non-profit (like DOULOS) and not diminish the amount of the estate they would leave to their heirs. How is the best way to get these people to come? Should we send engraved invitations and follow up with a phone call? If so, expecting that some will not attend, should we invite all 50 (couples or individuals) and hope that 20 will show? What if 100 show up? How is the best way to handle a meeting like this? Nick,
