County fundraising objective (through September)
Every county should aim for at least one fundraising event between now and September — more when hosts and compliance capacity allow. Track county, host, date, goal, invites, RSVP, raised, and follow-up in the Fundraising Event Toolkit.
Weekend Community Immersion (repeatable)
Four to five ~45 minute home meet-and-greets anchored to a larger local event — see Weekend Community Immersion. Pair coffee, lunch, faith, and student blocks from the two-day city model.
Travel rhythm
Sustainable defaults for home nights and return buffers — Travel rhythm model.
