In non-profits, "development" means fund raising; big endowment campaigns and capital campaigns to design; many big, deep pockets you can say you will touch. Someone "connected". MONEY-maker. Rainmaker. Deliver big names to endorse stuff. And so forth.

Well, no, probably not.

Thanks for asking. Just send me the money.

"S" is right. They are looking for a fundraiser. Having been one, I can assure you it's not a very glamorous job.

OF course it isn't...but doing it for the R&R HOF is a glamourous idea all by itself.
I'd like to klnow what the perks might be -- all the boogiewoogie and Golden Oldies you can stand!

Movin' Right Along
by The Muppets


Movin' right along in search of good times and good news,
With good friends you can't lose,
This could become a habit!
Opportunity knocks once let's reach out and grab it (yeah!),
Together we'll nab it,
We'll hitchhike, bus or yellow cab it!
(Cab it?)

Movin' right along.
Footloose and fancy-free.
Getting there is half the fun; come share it with me.
Moving right along (doog-a-doon doog-a-doon).
We'll learn to share the load.
We don't need a map to keep this show on the road.

(Hey, that song is sounding better Fozzie.)

Movin' right along,
We've found a life on the highway.
And your way is my way,
So trust my navigation.

California here we come, the pie-in-the-sky-land.
Palm trees, and warm sand.
Though sadly we just left Rhode Island.
(We did what?!)
(Just forget it.)

Movin' right along (doog-a-doon doog-a-doon).
Hey LA, where've you gone?
Send someone to fetch us, were in Sasketchewan!

Movin' right along (doog-a-doon doog-a-doon).
You take it, you know best.
Hey, I've never seen the sun come up in the West?

Movin' right along.
We're truly birds of a feather,
We're in this together and we know where we're going.
Movie stars with flashy cars and life with the top down.
We're storming the big town,
(Yeah, Storm is right should it be snowing?)
(Uh, no I don't think so...)

Movin' right along,
Do I see signs of men?
Yeah, "welcome" on the same post that says "come back again."
Moving right along, nice town!
Footloose and fancy-free,
You're ready for the big time...
Is it ready for me?

Movin' right along,

LOL, CH!! It may not be genuine rock and roll, but maybe the Muppetts are all we really need anymore! :D
