Thoughts for January from Peggy
By Cathleen | January 4, 2010
Happy New Year!
Whether or not you make resolutions, it’s natural to think about new things to do in the year ahead, and I invite you to expand your involvement in The Giving Circle. You might:
- have a house party, perhaps co-hosting with a friend, to introduce prospective members to The Giving Circle;
- or join a committee – the Membership, Community Service, and Gift Committees are the engines that make The Giving Circle run;
- or become involved with one of our gift beneficiaries. Your involvement will help make the results of your financial contribution more real and tangible to you
Even if you can give just a little bit of time, as with your monetary gifts, over time it can add up to a big difference.
Within 60 days, we will finalize our leadership slate for 2010-2011. When you receive the Call for Nominations, consider taking this next step. If you are already involved, consider a Director-at-Large or an Officer position. If you email me with your questions and interests, I will put you in touch with the people to get you started.
December’s “Circle Time” was fun so we are doing it again. Please save the date for our next informal gathering at Mancini’s on Friday, January 15, 2010 from 9:00 to 11:00. Stop by whenever you can, bring your children if you like. The only thing on the agenda is coffee, catch up and to gather ideas for other places to meet as well as an evening option for a future Circle Time.
Read on for important Giving Circle news, and I hope to see you on the 15th!
