Goals of the Telethon: Discussion of what Library staff wants to achieve from the Telethon and what Foundation Boazdmembers hope to achieve. Library Foundation Board Minutes February 10, 1997 Page 3 Boardmember Barnett stated, "That as a committee it is important for us to set goals for what we hope to achieve not only for the Telethon, but for the year. Setting our goals and being able to evaluate them after the fact is critical." Boardmember Valenti stated, "This is a learning experience as we are going through the Telethon. For example, the vendors for the City. In the phamplet, it states that the vendors are the number one supporters for an event like this. We might want to concentrate more on that than some of the smaller businesses." Boardmember Williams stated, "After the dust clears after the Telethon, then we will all sit down and debrief, item by item. Then we can list, what we should improve on next year." Boardmember Barnett stated, "One of the important goals for this Telethon is the awareness of people knowing we have a Telethon. When we talked about calling people that had borrowed items in the last six months, one of the first questions that we ought to ask and to keep track of is, `Were you aware there was a Telethon?' Next year, we can say we had 30 percent awareness for the Telethon last year, our goal this year is 50 percent." President Pachon stated that from her perspective, a key goal is the awareness of the Library, the awareness that there is a Foundation working for the betterment for the Library and for the community. Boardmember Williams asked if there is a segment planned on the Telethon to explain the purpose of the Foundation, and that money can be donated through Trusts. The Foundation Board discussed and listed the following goals: Goals of the Telethon Raise $14,000 by March 20 2. Increase the public awareness of the following for the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library. a. Library services offered. b. Library Foundation's existence and purpose. c.
