National Philanthropy Day celebrates philanthropy and highlights the accomplishments, large and small, of all those involved in the in the philanthropic process that contributes so richly to our society and our world. The purpose of this day is to recognize the great contributions of those active in the philanthropic community.
We all have many great volunteers and donors, but a small budget to truly steward and thank those donors.
National Philanthropy Day is a wonderful way to host those special donors and celebrate all they do with a beautiful lunch and program.
We look forward to seeing you at National Philanthropy Day 2015!
All the best,
Karen Derrick and Nancy Jeter, MBA

President's Message
November
2015
|
"Be quick to learn and wise to know."
-- George Burns
Learning is a constant state for all of us. We strive to learn more about our donors and make sure we understand why they continue to support our organizations. Continuing professional development is also critical which is why I make sure to find the time to be active with our AFP chapter. Whether you're able to join us for the monthly programs and network with other savvy development professionals or need to pull research online for a project, AFP has a wonderful array of resources to check out. So even in the project paralysis times at work, I know I can find what I need.
Next Monthly Meeting
We don't have a program meeting in November since we're celebrating National Philanthropy Day© with a luncheon on Tuesday, November 10th, at the Cendera Center. I hope you have your reservations made because as we go to "press" for the newsletter, we have every reason to believe we will be sold out again this year. Please mark your calendar for Monday, December 14th for our last meeting this year.
Onward,
