"Our pledge total has already surpassed six times our annual giving... and is continuing to grow"

I would like to extend my personal and deep thanks to you for the truly exceptional job that James D. Klote & Associates performed for Metropolitan Memorial United Methodist Church's Capital Campaign. Our decision to hire you as our campaign consultant was based on several factors - your comprehensive understanding of our church's needs; your track record that churches using your system would produce pledges totaling five times a church's annual giving; your positive references from other churches in our area; your personal warmth, integrity and charm; and your commitment as a Christian to the work that you are doing.

We are enormously pleased by everything that JDK&A provided for us. Your staff is outstanding. Should Metropolitan Memorial choose to conduct another capital campaign in the future while I am the Senior Pastor, your firm will undoubtedly be at the top of our list.

Thank you, again, for all that you have done for us.

– Rev. Dr. Frank Trotter, Jr., Senior Pastor
Metropolitan Memorial, United Methodist Church
Washington, D.C.

Your assistance has been instrumental in our ability to conduct such a successful campaign. The numbers speak for themselves. This campaign has to date raised $6.5 million. These multiples represent a stunning success in mobilizing the congregation to make a sacrificial commitment.

We thank you for your crucial role in helping us to make Metropolitan Memorial's beauty more vibrant, its stateliness more state-of-the-art, and its welcome more wondrous.

– Judith Edstrom, Campaign Vice Chair
