>From Steve Bridge, Alcor
October 1, 1996

In accordance with Dave Pizer's suggestion a few days ago, Alcor has 
entered into a new agreement with Pizer Enterprises concerning Alcor 
Fundraising.

Dave Pizer will now (beginning October 1) be on a monthly salary of 
$200.00 for fundraising activities.  Two helpers will receive $100.00 
each per month.  None will receive any commission for donations 
within the cryonics community (loosely defined as suspension members 
or signups from any organization, or other individuals who intend to 
become suspension members within the next year or two).

At the beginning of each January, Dave Pizer will set a goal for Alcor
fundraising for the year.  His salary for the year will be set at 5% 
of that goal, with two helpers set at 2 1/2% each.  If the team 
exceeds the goal for the year, no extra will be paid to Dave or to 
the helpers.  If the team falls short of the goal for the year, Pizer 
Enterprises will refund to Alcor the difference between the amount of 
fundraising salary paid (to all three workers) and the amount of 
commission that actually would have been earned if total pay was 
being figured on a commission basis of 10%.

In other words, if Dave decides the goal for 1997 is $48,000, Alcor 
would set his annual salary at $2,400 ($200 per month) and the 
helpers at $1,200 each ($100 per month).  If Dave's team brings in 
$60,000, they earn no extra.  If they bring in $40,000, Dave would 
have to refund $800 to Alcor.

This would seem to be an effective strategy for motivating the 
fund-raising team to set the goal as high as possible without going 
beyond what is realistic, and then working hard to achieve this goal.

We also hope this will relieve some cryonicists' concerns about 
Alcor's fundraising setup and lessen their hesitation to donate 
money to Alcor.
