Message from the President

Happy Holidays! I hope this letter finds all of you well on your way to meeting your year-end fundraising goals.

I want to thank everyone who took time out to join us for National Capital Philanthropy Day on November 14th. It was a spectacular, sold-out event that left me feeling inspired and proud to be a part of this great profession. I want to take this opportunity to thank event co-chairs Beth Brummel, CFRE and Brooks Kenny and the entire NCPD Leadership Committee for an extraordinary job.

I urge you to consider joining us for one of our last two events of the year. Join us on December 9th for the Advanced Executives session for a discussion of the role of the not-for-profit sector in disaster response. Our AFP/DC Holiday Luncheon and Annual Meeting on December 15th at Smith and Wollensky Restaurant on 19th Street, NW is sold out; but you can be put on the waiting list by faxing the registration form.

Under the outstanding direction of VP Education Nancy Racette, CFRE, we'll kick off an exciting new line up of 2006 Educational Programs soon. Keep an eye on our website at www.afpdc.org for more details.

Finally, I want to publicly commend our staff: John Ganoe, Mary Lou Swiscoski, and Rashida Moore for their tireless efforts in recent weeks. They managed the myriad details associated with Fundraising Day Washington and National Capital Philanthropy Day. Even though these two events occurred less than three weeks apart, both ran smoothly thanks to the long hours our staff put in. Please let them know how much you appreciate it the next time you see them.

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a prosperous New Year!

Kathy Swayze, CFRE
President

Member Directory & ResouRce Guide
2005-2006
Corrections and Additions - December 31

Directories were recently mailed to all active AFP/DC members. We hope that you will find it to be a valuable resource. Because the directory is a snapshot of the membership database as of a certain date (8/16/05), members' names may have been omitted if new applications or renewals had not yet been recorded. In addition, contact information may have changed or need to be corrected.

Please email your additions or corrections to info@afpdc.org by December 31, 2005, with the subject line "Member Directory". We will issue an electronic addendum to the directory in January. If you have any questions, please contact Mary M. Grimm, CFRE, Vice President of Membership, at megrimm1@verizon.net.
