John, For the meeting tomorrow, here are some of the basic's I thought we should review. City Meetings The proposed format for the meetings will be as follows: A donor meeting presentation with approx 30 to 50 potential funders who have the capacity to contribute $100,000 or more. The thought again is to do a presentation where: * Rob McKay welcomes everyone and turns it over to John * John Podesta does a thorough presentation of the role and goals of The Fund for America * Field Presentation is done by Anna Burger or Martin Frost * Messaging Presentation is done by Paul Begala or Tom Matzzie * Mary Pat Bonner explains the fundraising campaign This meeting is followed by a small dinner of approx 10 to 20 potential funders. These dinners will be held at one table. The will be informal discussions with individuals who have the capability of contributing $1M or more to The Fund for America We should confirm the format of the presentation We should confirm the Slides we want to use for the presentation (Mike Berkowitz will send a copy of both the presentation you gave and the AV presentation from the Alliance meeting under separate cover) We should review the individuals who have been invited to the events and small dinners in each city. Note: The individuals who we are trying to schedule for private meetings with you are the same individuals we have invited to the small dinners. we are trying to schedule individual meetings with the ones who can't attend these dinners. (Beth Eagle will send these invite lists to you under separate cover). Current Commitments and Cash Flow Soros: $5M to $10M -- Prepared to move $2.5M in the next 2 weeks Lewis: $5M -- Prepared to move $5M by January 15 directly to field groups Bing: $5M to $10M -- Prepared to move $5M in the next few weeks SEIU: $5M to $10M -- Determining where they are putting that $$ Abraham: $1M -- How soon can we ask him to move this money Sillerman: $1M -- Will move at least 1/2 before the end of the year Tsakapolis: $1M -- Will move part now Buell: $1M likely -- We need to determine in this first phase which groups count and for how much. I need us to establish goals and cash deadlines in order to do cash flow projections. I am sure there may be some other items that you would like to discuss. I just wanted to take a moment to review these with you so that we could start on the same page. I look forward to talking to you tomorrow. Please let me know if these is other information you need for this meeting. Thanks, MP
