I do think we haven’t succeeded with the rich and we need to. We’ve tried, but we’re still struggling as evidenced by the article you referenced. The question I have is if an organization that is middle-class to the bone can succeed with the truly rich. They say “the rich are different.” I wouldn’t know; I don’t know anybody in that class. Actually, I do. There’s one volunteer in my division who was very active years ago who probably is on that list or has been in the past. But the relationship went sour and nobody’s been able to revive it.
I know the person you speak of. Someone could make amends? She is not too different from the rest of us.
I think that our Foundation could hit on some of those people. In Califonia the are 98 from that list. If gived time, some of them could be converted, I am sure of it.
