Due to budget constraints, the eBulletin called On-The-Go eTA for Sustainability, sponsored by the Corporation for National and Community Service and written / produced by Campaign Consultation has discontinued publication of new issues for the time being. For four years, 77 free issues of On-The-Go eTA arrived insubscribers' inboxes. Messages of disappointment have been received such as ...
"I just wanted you to know that you will be missed. I looked forward to reading each issue because the topics were always practical, relevant and useful".
If you have a similar unexpressed disappointment, let us hear from you at

and like Tinkerbell, OTG eTA for Sustainability may just revive!
In the meantime, a landing page has been developed for you to access back issues o gain capacity building information in the areas of Communications/Marketing, Fundraising, Management and Volunteering. Click here to visit the archives.

Thirteen years ago, Susan Hailman set out on a grand adventure by joining the Campaign Consultation team to become the director of knowledge transfer and utilization … our guru for all things training, technical assistance and learning.
On September 10, 2010 Susan retired and has begun another great adventure. It has been an honor and delight over these and previous years to have known her as colleague, collaborator, client and most of all, friend.
During Susan’s tenure with us, she served as the project director for our Sustainability Initiative, Resource and Fund Development Initiative and Special Projects Initiative on behalf of the Corporation for National and Community Service. Prior to coming to Campaign Consultation, Susan was directing training at the Enterprise Foundation. And for many years before that, she served as project officer at the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP).
In each of these positions, we have had the collective privilege to work side-by-side with this amazing woman. As such, we have been blessed that she has loaned us her leadership, wisdom, knowledge, expertise and good-heartedness to help train and influence an estimated 230,000 individuals in their pursuit of building better communities throughout the United States.
Her outstanding record of providing participant-centered learning, leadership in community-based problem solving, dedication to staff and associates and commitment to advancing social change – has forged the benchmark for excellence in training and technical assistance.
Susan has moved on to pursue other joys that she's wanted to have a crack at for a long time. She's going to give full-time focus to her coaching consultancy and her lifetime dream of become a novelist. There are not enough words in all the languages of this world to express our gratitude to and admiration for this outstanding woman. While we have no doubt that our relationship with Susan will continue, as it always has, both personally and professionally – we know that she will be sorely missed.
With great appreciation, respect and love for Susan,
Linda & Steven Rivelis

Firehouse #31 Grand Re-Opening |
|
Recently, local neighborhoods came together to celebrate extensive renovations and the re-opening of Firehouse #31 on Greenmount Avenue.
Crowds of people from the Waverly Farmer's Market and civic leaders stood on sidewalks to welcome Engine Company #31 and Medic #3 back to the Firehouse. Chief Kevin Cartwright served as Master of Ceremonies and joyously introduced honored guests which included Mary Pat Clarke, Councilwoman 14th District; Christopher Thomaskutty, Deputy Mayor, Baltimore City; James Clack, Chief of Fire Department; Khalil Zaied, Dept. of General Services, Baltimore City; and of course, John Parker, Captain of Engine Company #31.
In addition, to the kind words and acknowledgments of collaboration on the part of various city agencies, community leaders and local fund raising efforts were praised. The City of Baltimore committed $500,000 to the renovation project and the community gave over $20,000 to fund paint, supplies and furnishings to bring its first responders back home. This amount more than doubled when added with the in-kind support of neighbors who volunteered to paint and businesses that donated furniture and equipment or sold at cost. The ribbon-cutting was signaled by the fire bell and the crowd piled in to tour the newly renovated firehouse and partake in the celebration cookout.
As part of our annual Give 5 Initiative, Campaign Consultation donated a portion of our year-end profits to help repair the historic Firehouse #31 in Waverly. In addition, staff contributed support, matched by Eddie’s Market, for the Grand Re-Opening cookout.

"Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Mayor Bloomberg among billionaires signing up for ‘The Giving Pledge’"
By: Barry Paddock, Daily News Staff Writer, 8/5/10
“Billionaires are lining up to give their money away.
Six weeks after Warren Buffett and Bill Gates kicked off a campaign to convince fat cats to join them in giving away most of their fortune, they've found 40 takers.
‘I've been surprised how much progress we've actually made,’ Buffett said. ‘We're hoping that America, which is already the most generous society on Earth, becomes even more generous.’
Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates personally called 80 people on the Forbes list of the 400 wealthiest Americans.
They pushed them to sign the Giving Pledge, a vow to donate at least half your fortune by the time you die."
To help successful entrepreneurs to actually fulfill their Giving Pledges, Campaign Consultation offers LLIFE™ (Living Legacy Initiative for Entrepreneurs) that helps people …
- Determine how much inheritance to leave their families
