RE:     Copy of: Another Tennessee/TENOR update
From:   Jane C. Nast,  74354.1311@compuserve.com
For all who have received the Tennessee update last week from Fred 
Greenman/AAC/Jane Nast:
Responses thus far have been very gratifying with everyone saying......
WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP?
Our suggestion is: PUT YOUR TIME AND ENERGY INTO NETWORKING AND FUNDRAISING. 
Contacting NCFA and its allies may be like spitting into the wind. Some of 
these organizations are spin-offs of others. Do NOT try to confuse them with 
the facts, their minds are made up.  The only exception to this might be if 
you know members of any of these organizations, you might ask them if they 
know what a sad, tragic thing it is that their organization is lending its' 
name to a group like the NCFA!
Spend your time, money, and effort contacting others and educating them about 
the historical significance of the Tennessee case and how the outcome will 
influence the future adoption legislation (and how it will effect  millions 
of American adoptees). After you've educated them, ask them contribute to 
TENOR.
Share your mailing lists with us or if you'd rather do it yourself, let us 
send you information for you to distribute to your friends, family and/or 
constituents.
IN THE MEANTIME
AAC is launching a new TENOR fund-raising campaign. It is in the works right 
now. Betsie Norris is spearheading it and the 'slogan' will be:
100 DAYS/$100 X 1,000 DONATIONS=$100,000
January 1, 1997 is the day we start. 100 days later, April 10, 1997, we 
intend to have $100,000 by the time we meet in Dallas for our 1997 National 
Conference and in time for the trial to begin in Nashville. We will send you 
details and ideas long before January 1.
BUT don't wait until then.  People always give more during the HOLIDAYS. If 
you have your own ideas, put them to work ASAP. Checks to be made out to 
AAC/TENOR 1000 Connecticut Avenue, Suite #9, Washington D.C. 20036
And share your ideas with us. We will get them around the country.  If we all 
pitch in, we will make the goal.
                                              WIN THE WAR FOR OPEN RECORDS
That's what we can do.  That's what we MUST do between now and  April 10, 
1997. Questions, comments, suggestions contact us:
