A little catch up of the last couple weeks and what’s coming up! How’s your fundraising season shaping up?

When you "Pause" your chant you give the room a chance to breathe, decide and take action. This also gives you a chance to breathe, recollect your composure and come back with more power.

Great to have so many Skoolers at this Great Summit!!! We have @Aaron Klesick , @Dusty Klink @Chad Chance, @Erin Kienzle, @Jenelle Taylor , and @Erin Ward !!! If you are attending and I didn’t tag you come and say hi! I want to remind you that we have our Billion Dollar Brunch on Wednesday morning.

I was reminded this week while at the Benefit Auction Summit that a THANK YOU goes a long way. I feel like too often our non-profit clients and us don't reach out and say thank you enough. That's my challenge for the next week: to reach out to my past clients and future clients and send them a simple thank-you note. What are you going to do in the next 7 days to further your relationships with your community?
