2004 Goals
Below are the goals we stated we were trying to meet during 2003. Thanks go to our God as we made great progress in meeting these goals. Goals for 2004 will be announced after the Board of Directors Meeting on January 24th. Thanks for patience!

    1. Three Hundred Members activated
    - Approximately 340 Solider Rockers did one or more of the following: attended an event, gave a donation and order outreach materials.
    - We added 131 new members (27% increase) and have a total of 620 current members.

    2. Twenty Area Contacts activated
    - We currently have 21 Area Contacts (some are still in the application process).

    3. Ten area outreaches
    - Twenty-two Solid Rock events happened in 2003 with 14 of them having an outreach.

    4. Giving that covers the operating expenses of the SRCFC
    - As God as guided, He as also provided!
    - Many of you have given general fund donations and gifts in kind. Adding in program fees and purchases we have been able to meet the general “keep the door” expenses, and used some of the funds for advertising and outreach spending.
    - John Blaubach, our faithful and hard-working Treasurer, will have financial statements for the year available soon!

    5. Three regular US mail communications and bi-monthly email updates.
    - We meet the goal of three mailed “News on the Rocks” newsletter and sent out 22 email updates.

    6. Produce a training video and an outreach video.
    - Although we produced an “on the fly” video review of climbing at Smith Rock for an outreach, this goal was unmet.
    - One video resource we do have thanks to Brian Thompson is video for use in promoting Solid Rock at a local church or with Christian climbers.
    - If you would like a copy to show and get the word out about Solid Rock, please let me know.

    7. Tools for Sharing our Faith
    a. Business cards with contact information and gospel
    b. Tracts directed at climbers
    c. Fact sheets and brochures about the ministry
    - All of these resources are available and ready to ship.
    - In the newsletter, there is specific costs listed for some these items. Don’t let that keep your from requesting them.
    - We will provide them “free of charge” if necessary!
