2007 Goals
I write down and share my goals at the beginning of each new year. Looking at years past, I tend to achieve around 90%. This year, I’ve kept the goal count low and hope to achieve them all. Thanks to those of you who help keep me accountable.

Raising the $15 million is gonnabe tough. You set the bar really high. I hope you succeed in all your goals.
Thanks, Ray. I’ve got some ideas for the $15M. If the facebook initiative works out (http://umichigan.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2224883787) that’ll be $2.5-15M right there - but participation is limited to facebook users. An alternative that allows anyone to participate may be better - I’m considering making one after we watch and learn from the facebook initiative for another month or so.
