President's Message
Hello, Friends,
We are truly thankful to Terese Stevenson (Rees-Jones Foundation), Dr. Anu Partap (Rees-Jones Center for Foster Care Excellence), and John Mitchener (Children's Medical Center Foundation) for sharing their transformational gift journey at our luncheon program on October 25th. Your AFP chapter is committed to hosting top-tier presenters who can provide you first-hand insight into life-changing initiatives.
My prayer is that your hearts will be filled with joy this holiday season. Because of your efforts we are blessed to live in one of the most generous places on earth, Happy Thanksgiving!

Feature Headline
You all are TRULY amazing! We set an annual AFP Now! goal of $9,000, achieved it, and now we have achieved our stretch goal of $10,000...THANK YOU!
At our September 27th AFP Greater Dallas Chapter meeting, Alyssa Avila, Donovan Coleman and Shanay Wise, all seniors at Paul Quinn College, shared with the group how your generous philanthropy to AFP Now! has benefited each of their lives. Paul Quinn College, with students engaged in fundraising courses, is our college chapter partner.
Now that we've put a big bow on 2017 for our own AFP Dallas chapter giving, let's blow through the $10,000 goal, shall we? Our current membership participation is 11%, which represents 46 gifts. If just 20 more of you would please give $20, we'll achieve a 15% participation rate and continue to exceed our $10,000 stretch goal. And, remember, there will be a drawing at our December Holiday Luncheon for an iPad Mini! All 2017 donors are eligible! Let's do this!
With fond fundraising affection,
Ms. AFP Now!, aka, Anne Robillard, CFRE
