AFP Every Member Campaign (EMC)
The AFP Every Member Campaign represents one of our flag programs as it provides critical resources to our chapter and AFP International. When we reach our goal of $6,755 our Chapter will receive a Partnership Grant equal to 25% of our gift to enhance our own education and scholarship activities.
Last year, we exceeded our goal and we are counting on you to help us be equally successful in 2009.
We are off to good start. The board, with 100% participation, has pledged $4,100 or 61% of the goal. NOW, we are counting on you to cross the finish line. To spur you on, we have a number of incentive gifts. Drawings will be held at upcoming meetings for a number of fun and valuable gifts including dinners at the Tower Club, program passes and memberships at the World Affairs Council, Sixth Floor Museum, Crow Collection and Old Red Museum; and even a few bottles of wine.
How are your contributions used by the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy?
Scholarships to Chapters for seminars and training
Encouraging and recognizing youth in philanthropy
Promoting ethical and effective fundraising
Research grants
Soon you may be receiving a phone call about this from AFP. We thank you in advance for your positive response to this special appeal.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Jim Falk at jfalk@dfwworld.org.

PRESIDENT'S LETTER
I hope that you have all had a restful, safe, productive summer - if you had a chance to escape this Texas heat, I hope you took it! It has been a refreshing change to hear some of the talking heads saying that the economy is looking up and I, for one, am hopeful that the end-of-year giving bump that we usually get will be more exciting than we might have thought possible a few months ago. Or maybe that's just the Pollyanna in me. In any case, your chapter leadership has been working through the summer and we have lots of things going on that we hope will bring you fun, friends and continuing education points for that CFRE! A reminder to any of you who might be interested in attending the AFP Leadership Academy in Orlando, registration is now open. This is a great way to prepare for future Board service, and immediate past president Larry Wickham and the nominating committee are interested in hearing from you if you'd like to serve on your chapter's board. You are welcomed and encouraged to nominate yourself! It's a great way to learn more about your community and your profession. Contact Larry at Lwickham@uttyler.edu.
The annual National Philanthropy Day will be an exciting event again this year. Kay Marsh Green and her outstanding selection committee are pleased to announce the following awardees: Outstanding Philanthropist - Mike and Mary Terry; Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser - Laura Wheat; Outstanding Executive - JoLynne Jensen; Outstanding Foundation - Embrey Foundation; Outstanding Youth - Matthew Willis; Outstanding Corporation - Dean Foods; Outstanding Organization - CREW Dallas. Make plans to attend the Greater Dallas NPD luncheon on November 10th to honor our 2009 awardees and hear their stories. The AFP First Course in Fundraising is scheduled for Thursday and Friday, September 24 - 25, 2009 at Dallas Baptist University. The First Course is offered through a joint effort of the Dallas Chapter and the Fort Worth Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals. It is designed for persons with two years or less of experience and provides a foundation in the fundamentals of fundraising. Learn more about First Course at www.afpdallas.org, where you can also register to attend. Our annual holiday luncheon will be held at the Communities Foundation on December 9th, with special guest speaker, the always delightful and knowledgeable Nancy Barry. As most of you know, Nancy led the charitable giving and community service efforts of the Dallas Morning News for many years before going out on her own. She is a dynamic speaker and we are excited that she agreed to join us for our end-of-year celebration. See you on August 26th - enjoy the rest of the summer!
With all best wishes,
Luanne Samuel, CFRE
President
