Thank you AFP-Brandywine Chapter

All of you who went to Philanthropy Day Nov 15 know how hard it is to put on an event for 350 people (just a guess, but there were a lot!). It was a great day to mingle with fellow fundraisers, get a few hints about what others are doing, and to listen to Dr. Ben Carson and his passion for education and helping others. That's what it is all about, yes? So thank you to AFP-Brandywine for a great day!

NEW SERVICE for Bank Accounts!

Now 82North can allow you to debit your customer/donor's bank account instead of only charging a credit card. It saves you the discount percentage (2.19%) on the donation/transaction, though it does carry a $10 per month fee and a 35c per transaction charge. This is good stuff! Contact 82North for details.

Thank You Lani!

Many thanx to Lani Voivod of Epiphanies Inc (www.EpiphaniesInc.com) for suggesting the use of the blog for ramblings. She does good work - check out her site!
