After seven years as Lodge ENF Fundraising Chair, Brian Lawrence knows that stronger communities start with a winning team. Lawrence has the members of Westbrook, Conn., Lodge No. 1784 in his starting lineup.
“The Lodge gets behind our fundraising events, and it’s rewarding to see how many members want to participate,” says Lawrence. “Lodge members come forward because they know they have a chance to make a difference in the community through the ENF.”
Lawrence values his team members and ensures their donations are quickly and securely sent to the ENF by using the Online Remittance Form.
“The Online Remittance Form is much neater and more presentable,” says Lawrence. “It’s so easy to access donor information, document donations, and forward donations to the ENF as quickly as possible.”
Lawrence’s team isn’t complete without their coach—the ENF. Throughout the year, Lawrence relies on the ENF for updated resources—including ENFrontline—and for advice on how to succeed.
“Keep on top of what’s going on,” advises Lawrence to other ENF Fundraising Chairs. “Get help from the ENF to make your job as rewarding as it can be.”
