I specifically asked our Klote consultant for your email so that I can tell you how I feel about his performance in our current capital campaign at All Saints Episcopal Church. I can sum it up in four little words – “can we keep him?”
He is wonderful to work with and is doing a terrific job in organizing this campaign and keeping us on track. Without his tutelage we would be lost and frustrated but he is keeping things running smoothly and for that we are eternally grateful. His faith, sincerity, and warm personality are a true blessing to our parish so much so that he has become a fixture among us, leaving many of us to feel as though he has always been a part of our parish family.
Thank you for assigning him to All Saints for our campaign project. Our ultimate expression of gratitude is spoken in these words, “Thanks Be To God”.

Carmel Lutheran Church kicked off its ‘Hearts Compelled To Share’ capital campaign in record style. As of January 25th just 73 families of the more than 900 in the church had already committed $3.75 million dollars. That total represents not only the best kickoff to a campaign at CLC, it also represents the best campaign in total even though only 8% of the congregation has pledged so far.
The previous best campaign was just four years ago when CLC collected a total of about $3 million in pledges from over 425 donors.
