Hi John,
Happy Fourth of July to our American friends, Happy Canada Day this week to our Canadian colleagues, and a warm hello to everyone. In this tough time, when so much news is bleak, we hope you will enjoy some time off to recharge and nurture your positive mindset. Remember that every one of us can be a force for the good, in our own way. The stance you take every day for peacefulness, optimism and hope can serve as a beacon for everyone. You can lift others up with a constructive, upbeat outlook. You know that Kathryn and I constantly strive to give you a positive, can-do attitude. That's our mission - to encourage you and your team to go out there with an upbeat message about your organization's work. We show you how to turn your Asks into exciting Opportunities. We train you in Skillful Conversations that make major donors feel happy to help. We hope you take this weekend to appreciate the good that you bring into the world. Fundraisers are often not thanked or acknowledged for their contributions. We know how hard you work and how much you care. Thank you for all that you do. It's our honor to serve you and your cause. Warmly, |
