E-BAG March 2006 E-Bag Sponsored by
Welcome to the March edition of your AFP/DC E-Bag. Each month, we attempt to bring you up to date on the activities and services offered in YOUR chapter. You are the strength of this organization. Along with nearly 1,000 other fundraising professionals, you inform and inspire our activities throughout the year. I encourage you to let us know if there are ways we can improve your experience as an AFP/DC member. And, if you know someone else who could benefit from membership, send us an email with his or her contact information to info@afpdc.org and we'll be happy to send more information. Over the past year, no one has been more dedicated to reaching new members than our Vice President of Membership, Mary Grimm. During her tenure as VP, Mary has moved to a new home, changed jobs, suffered a foot injury and mourned a loss in her immediate family. Through it all, she continued to provide outstanding leadership to her membership team and our chapter. She is tirelessly dedicated to meeting members' needs and to attracting new fundraising professionals to our organization. Thanks Mary for all you do! One of the highlights of the year for AFP/DC members is our Annual Member reception, which is hosted by the chapter as a celebration of all our members. It's one of the best networking opportunities of the year so mark your calendars now for the 2006 Member Reception on May 24 from 6 to 8 pm at the Human Rights Campaign's Equality Center. Your first 2006 issue of Capital Resource, our AFP/DC newsletter, will arrive in your mailbox very soon. I want to thank our VP of Communications, Marshall Ginn, and newsletter editors Michelle Payne, Diane Hill and Meegan McVay for their excellent work on this edition. And, finally, I want to thank YOU for your membership. I look forward to seeing you at an event soon!
Kathy Swayze, CFRE P.S.

The Army and Navy Club requires a coat and tie for men
and prohibits the use of cell phones in the Club's public
spaces. Back to top On the heels of a great turnout at the DMAW - AFP/DC young professionals networking night at Fado in February, we'd like to say thank you for helping to make it such a success. We had about 45 people attend and everyone seemed to have a good time. In the spirit of advance notice, please mark your calendars for Wednesday, March 22nd. We will again meet from 5 - 7:30pm but this time at Buffalo Billiards in Dupont Circle. That will give us a little more space because I'm sure you'll all want to invite some more friends for the next one! Please note: The Young Professionals Happy Hour is intended for those who are under age 40 and/or who have fewer than 7 years of fundraising or nonprofit experience. We're asking everyone to please respect this criteria so we can maximize peer-building networks. REGISTER: Roundtables are a great AFP/DC member benefit. These highly interactive sessions are typically directed at all educational levels. Participants gather to hear a presentation followed by ample time for questions, interactions, and networking. CFRE credits are available for participation. Due to an unanticipated situation, we have needed
to make a change for March's roundtable. Check
back soon to learn about this month's topic and
speaker. LOCATION: METRO: TIME: COST: REGISTER:
