It's That Time!

Just a reminder
The deadline for the 2006 Fundraising Professional of the Year Awards is Dec. 16. Winners will be announced in the February issue.

And finally ...
Let me take a moment on this bright October morning to extend holiday wishes from myself and my staff. I wish for you and yours the same things I wish for me and mine: warmth, peace, joy, a sense of gratitude and the grace (to paraphrase Doris Klein, who designs glorious Christmas cards for the Heartbeats catalog) “to live with outrageous hope, and to walk simply and listen for Christmas in your heart.” And if not Christmas, then the spirit of love and promise that it — and all the winter holidays — embodies.
