for the New Year Linda Lysakowski, ACFRE |

| As
another year begins, we count our blessings during the past year and
wish for continued health and success for the year ahead. I hope that
each of you had a good year, both personally and professionally. About this time, most of us are making New Year’s resolutions—to lose weight, exercise more, stop smoking, etc. Here are some suggested work-related New Year’s resolutions you might want to consider for your development office. |

| Linda's
Blog is Here! |
|||||||||||
| You
may recall a few months ago, we promised our blog was coming. We just
launched our blog as of Jan 1, 2008 — The
Fundraiser's Coffee Break. Although I will be sipping herbal
tea while answering question and comments on the blog, we thought
this would be good time for fundraisers to take a break from the routine
of getting that grant out the door, drafting that direct mail appeal
that just has to be out this week, and planning yet another special
event. This is your opportunity to comment, ask questions and share
good ideas on any topic relating to fundraising and nonprofit management.
So visit our blog
and get started. |
