Yosef Club and FAA

Unread post by scatman77 » Wed May 27, 2020 11:37 am

In light of the recent news the past few days I want to encourage everyone to be sure to join the Yosef Club if you're not already a member. If you are a member encourage others who are not a member to join. The Former Athletes' Association is a part of Yosef as well. The FAA gets $30 of your YC membership to help us with: senior awards, letters, letter jackets, Hall of Fame breakfast and program, and the the athletic achievement recognitions at the APPSPYs Awards Banquet. Student-athletes, coaches, administration and staff all attend to applaud another year of accomplishments for the Mountaineers. If you are a former athlete be sure to note that on your membership when contacting the Yosef Club.

If a lump sum donation is not feasible you can set up a monthly bank draft (as I have always done). Just think: if every alumnus would commit to $10/month to the Yosef Club our athletes would not be in this predicament.

Thanks for reading and always remember: If you're lucky enough to be a Mountaineer you're lucky enough!

Just sayin'...

You just read a SCATMAN77 message that simply has to be a prime candidate for 'YoCab Post-of-the-Year."
If it happens to the Apps, it happens to me!

Thanks, Chuck! As an added note to my post the Alumni Association notes that there are over 130,000 living alumni. $10/month/year X 130,000 = $15,600,000. Think about it.....

Are there really only 3047 Yosef club members in 2020? That's what the little calculator says. That's absolutely pathetic considering how many living alumni we have. I did the math based on the above....2.3% of our graduates. How in the world do we improve that?

Also, keep in mind that a good # of our Yosef Club members are not even alumni (know a few myself)...just fans of the program, locals, etc. I'd be curious to know what % of YC membership is actual Appalachian alumni and what % is not. I would not be shocked if it's at least a 70-30 spread.

That is correct. If I recall correctly as well, only 300 of those members are former Athletes.

Don't forget, some employers will match donations up to a certain amount, and in most cases can have it deducted from your paycheck. My employer matches up to $5k.

My understanding (but I'm not sure) is that number is very inflated. I think it includes people who maybe haven't given in years. I'd love to know how many Yosef members have given something consistently for the past 3 or five years.

We need to have a constant effort on signing up as many new App people as possible on small monthly amounts ($10 or $20) on credit card or bank draft, simple process as possible. Large donors are great but if they are the only ones you pursue and cater to, not good. I spent 35 in the insurance agency business and last 6 years with United Fund and this is what i believe, "Deal with the masses and you will eat with the classes, deal with only the classes and you will go belly up" It is all about a lot of people doing a little, a little is much easier to enroll or sell if you have a good cause! I truly believe someone or some organization could enroll at least 50% of everyone approached to give $10 per month (with easy enrollment) for the App cause! It is great to be a Mountaineer!!!!!

Just a reminder if you don't do autodraft and don't donate all at once, 50% is due by the 31st.

Psh, your calendar doesn't have an extra day in it? That's reserved for those high roller Yosef Club members I guess.
