New Projects!
The list of organizations placing their trust in
STELLAR
grew by two more during the past month as more communities retain the firm to
implement bold new initiatives for 2005 and beyond. According to Terry Cusack,
STELLAR Founder and CEO, "Our clients recognize the
critical timing of conducting a fall 2004
feasibility study that places
their organizations at the front of the line for 2005 and corporate giving
budgets".
 The
Rome (GA) Chamber of Commerce will look
to STELLAR for the design of a bold new regional economic and
community development strategy. A comprehensive
STELLAR
feasibility study will measure community support for a major fundraising
campaign. We're particularly pleased to be able to work with Chamber CEO
Al Hodge, one of the most effective of economic and community developers
in the Southeast.
 The Hunting and Fishing Museum of Pennsylvania also
joined the
STELLAR roster in April.
The Museum is located on two islands in the Allegheny
River ( a National Wild & Scenic, Recreational River) in a setting in
which hunting and fishing in Pennsylvania actually takes place, and
attracts both sportsmen and non-sportsmen.
STELLAR
will oversee a seamless feasibility study, sponsorship assessment and
multi-million dollar fund raising campaign.
