Judy: I've called this meeting so we can brainstorm 1 some fundraising ideas. As you know, we're in danger of closing. Any thoughts?
Stan: I thought that Juan was working on getting donors 2.
Judy: He is, but we can't count on that coming through.
Dominique: How much do we need to raise? What's a ballpark figure?
Judy: We need at least $50,000 for next year.
Dominique: That's a lot of money, but I think we'll come up with something. How about a benefit performance?
Stan: That sounds promising 3 . Who can we get to perform?
Judy: It would be great to get someone like Barry Manilow.
Dominique: I think we're shooting too high. I was thinking more like a local band or comedy group.
Stan: I've got it. My brother works for The Improv. He knows a lot of comedians 4 from this area. Maybe we can get a few of them to perform.
Dominique: That would be great.
Judy: I like how this is shaping up . We're out of time, but let's meet again on Friday to hammer out the details. Thanks everybody.
