| The mailing would reach all club members. |
| The club was able to ask members their preferences on involvement, both financial and otherwise, in club and community activities. |
| One of our board members had prepared similar surveys for her job. |
| The only cost was the use of our club's annual mailing by the Alumni Association. |
| Preparation took approximately two months, and the survey was reviewed at two board meeting. We did this near the end of our first year of reactivation of our club. It has proven to be an excellent insight into how to proceed with activities for our club. |
| It has been excellent planning material for our activities. We aimed at low numbers and are trying to build a small, dependable base of alumni upon which to build the club's future. |
| This was a reality check on members' desires, extent of involvement, and financial and personal support. |
