SOME TIPS ON SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGNING

Quite often when you want to run a campaign you and your committee find that you are short on resources and short of information on how to go about it. Our Group (The Rivermouth Action Group Inc.) has had that feeling for many years, but have recently done something about it. We now have access to a wide range of useful items of equipment.

We don't own many of the items, but we are able to make use of many items. Some items only can be used on site at (Morningside) and some others can borrowed as long as their owner comes with it. The video camera is one such item.

Contributions given for their use, are used to maintain the equipment and extend the range of equipment or cover costs such as phone costs, batteries, consumable etc.
