I made a tough choice this year. For the first time ever, that I recall, I did not send Christmas cards.
Every year I have enjoyed this tradition and the opportunity to connect with friends, family and colleagues. Over the years, the list has grown. It really becomes a week-long project between developing the list, addressing the envelopes and signing the cards — hopefully with a semblance of a message.

Looking for Jeff? You'll find him either on the lake, laughing with good friends, or helping nonprofits develop to their full potential.
Jeff believes that successful fundraising is built on a bedrock of relevant, consistent messaging; sound practices; the nurturing of relationships; and impeccable stewardship. And that organizations that adhere to those standards serve as beacons to others that aspire to them. The Bedrocks & Beacons blog will provide strategic information to help nonprofits be both.
Jeff has more than 25 years of nonprofit leadership experience and is a member of the NonProfit PRO Editorial Advisory Board.
