Annual Giving Update

Greetings Annual Giving Chairs!


With high hopes, lots of smiles, and a huge to-do list, Monica Spears and Mary Ellen Hoffman became “real, live employees” on February 8th! Then, Anne Chau moved in with us as our very knowledgeable Administrative Assistant, after many years as a GSHH registrar.
We’re thrilled to be here and have been in touch with most of you and/or your VCCs as we begin to wind down Annual Giving for some communities and get going on Annual Giving for others who focus on it during Early Bird registrations.
As communicated at the VCC Conference on May 13th, an update on current Annual Giving status as well as next year’s goals will be sent over the next week or so to all VCCs and AG Chairs. Start thinking about who your Annual Giving Chair/s will be next year…as we can’t wait to meet them all at the Community Leadership Team Conference this August 28th.

We hope that this Blog, or something like it, will grow as a forum for sharing ideas and inspiration during next year’s Annual Giving campaign. This was year one and with staff transition, it definitely needed some extra TLC and we know that. Remember, it’s your place to offer suggestions and comments to your peers in other communities so that we all can focus on making GSHH the most vibrant council in the area! So please do post your Annual Giving tidbits.
Please note that our extensions are changing as of 5/27/10 – Mary Ellen will be ext. 739; Monica will be ext. 765; and Anne will be ext. 720.

Thanks to everyone and Happy Memorial Day!! Mary Ellen, Monica and Anne
