Page 4/The Battalion/Thursday, September, 15 1983 MSC Development holds seminar by Shawn Behlen Battalion Reporter Fund raising is a necessary but difficult job for any successful organization, the director of fund raising for Memorial Student Cen ter Development says. To help MSC sponsored prog rams with this task, MSC De velopment conducted the first of three scheduled workshops in Rudder Tower Wednesday. Director Becky Noah said MSC Development was trying to act as a go-between for MSC programs and possible donors. Develop ment was founded four years ago when several MSC programs be gan fund raising projects without any coordination between the in dividual groups. Noah said the types of projects Development could help with are foundation grants, programs for annual donors, and special fund raising events such as program dinners, direct mailouts, and mar keting of products unique to the program. She said that before any of these projects could work, though, the correct approach in contacting prospective donors must be taken. This contact is an area the work shops are designed to help refine. Wednesday’s workshop stres sed that a simple, direct approach is usually the best. “Relating the donor to the prog ram is one of the most successful things anyone can do when asking for funds,” Noah said. Also, the uniqueness of each program and how it benefits the possible donor should be explained, she said. Noah said the workshops were being held because of the tremen dous growth of fund raising activi ties in MSC programs. “The number of MSC programs with fund raising projects has now risen to ten and the total funds raised is now in the $200,000 to $300,000 range,” she said. The second workshop will be Sept. 21 and will deal with person al and telephone contacts. A third workshop on Sept. 28 will deal with follow-up procedures after the initial contact.

But his weeklong seclusion continued to raise questions about his health and ability to function as Israel’s leader. “He is not the same Begin we knew,” the Ma’ariv newpaper quoted one of them as saying. The Jerusalem Post said Begin, 70, “feels physically incapable of presenting his formal resignation to the president at this time.” Begin, appearing increasingly gaunt and drawn since the death of his wife Aliza, attended neither Jewish New Year synagogue ser vices last week nor Sunday’s Cabinet meeting. Although he is under no legal obligation to hand deliver the let ter, Begin believes anything less than a personal meeting with President Chaim Herzog “would lack dignity, ” the newspaper said.
