I wanted to thank you for your service to our Church, St. Julian’s of Norwich Episcopal Church, during the launch of our Deep Roots Capital Campaign. I personally appreciate your presence at the Church. Many times, I came into the Church to work on the Altar Guild and you came out of your office to speak with me and answer any questions or concerns that I may have had regarding the Campaign.
But, most of all, I truly enjoyed just talking with you and developing a real connection. I believe that is what makes Klote different. I would have never thought a consulting organization would feel so personal. This made a substantial difference to myself, and, I have no doubt, to other members of our Church leadership. Again, thank you for the excellent job!

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.
