HOLIDAY LUNCHEON

Come celebrate the end of a busy fundraising
year with your colleagues. AFP/DC is pleased to present
our very popular end-of-the-year networking luncheon

many volunteers that have contributed to this year's
AFP/DC success and provide you with information on your
chapter. There will be plenty of networking time to
spend learning from your colleagues. Each year we show
that we know how to give as well as ask by choosing
a local non-profit to support. For 2006 we have chosen
to support Fisher
House. (Please see details on the registration
form.)

PROPOSED BYLAWS
AMENDMENTS -
December 14
Please view our proposed changes to
the AFP/DC Chapter bylaws. Language to be deleted is indicated
where words have strike-through marks. New language
and additions are indicated by capitalization of entire
words. The main purpose of these revisions is to ensure
that the bylaws reflect the actual operations of the
chapter, and to make chapter governance more flexible
and responsive to member needs.
Bylaws revisions will be voted on at the next regular
meeting of the chapter on December 14, 2006, at the
beginning of the holiday party. Your questions and comments
about these revisions are welcome: bblume@astc.org.
