recognize seven honorees for their service and philanthropic

Philanthropy Day Celebration & Luncheon. This year’s honorees will join
a distinguished group of past honorees at this event historically
attended by more than 350 community members.
The following individuals and organizations will be
honored at this year’s event:
National Philanthropy Day is the perfect opportunity
to show appreciation for the many accomplishments that have been made in
the name of giving. Our 2009 recipients were chosen in recognition of

Involved!
Autumn Greetings from AFP NCOH!
The end of the year is among the busiest times for
development professionals and so it is with your AFP Chapter.
Our August Career Success Institute (CSI) was indeed a
success featuring the internationally recognized Linda Lysakowski, ACFRE.
While attendance was down somewhat due to the state of the economy, the
80 or so people in attendance gave rave reviews to the program. The
chapter provided something new as well: an internet link so that all the
attendees and sponsors could obtain ALL of the handouts so that everyone
had the benefit of all of the sessions.
Many thanks to our sponsors and to event co-chairs
Mella Castner and Kathy Romito for a job well done.
Our next two professional development opportunities
promise to be excellent learning opportunities. We will revisit the
extraordinarily successful program we did last year in conjunction with
the Cleveland AFP Chapter -- Paul Clark, Regional President, Northern
Ohio Region of National City, now part of PNC, will be our presenter in
October and our December program will pose the theory that story telling
is the most effective way to deliver your Mission’s Message.
I am sure that you will find both programs both
interesting and thought provoking.
National Philanthropy Day (NPD) is rapidly approaching
and we have a marvelous group of awardees to recognize and thank for
their willingness to invest themselves in the betterment of the
community. I urge you and your organization to not only attend the event
but consider a sponsorship at some level to get your message out to the
area’s philanthropists and businesses.
Where else will you find hundreds of donors and
colleagues who can serve as resources for you in one place at one time?
And that’s my final message: get involved and stay
involved with your AFP Chapter.
In these turbulent economic times this very dynamic
group of people can be your best friends. Your network may help you
address professional challenges and if the unthinkable happens – and it
has to many development professionals in the last year – and your job is
eliminated, it is perhaps your best source of new opportunities.
P.S. If you haven’t been to the NEW AFP International
website, check it out!
http://www.afpnet.org. It’s a wonderful resource for current
information; it’s cleaner and also easier to navigate.

RETURN TO THE TOP
The AFP International website offers a number of tools
to assist in every aspect of the development profession. When a
development professional joins AFP, you not only have a group of local
peers to learn and benefit from, but also the vast membership of AFP
International.
Survival Kit for Fundraisers
A tumultuous economy can present unique challenges for
nonprofit fundraising. Looking for ways to cope? AFP has compiled a
toolkit of resources to advise and guide member fundraisers in tough
economic times.
"Donors have a lot on their minds these days as they
sit down with their personal budgets," explains Paulette Maehara, CFRE,
CAE, president and CEO of AFP. "But despite the headlines about Wall
Street and the financial markets, we as fundraisers should not lose
sight of the fact that giving is a way for communities to pull together.
While the economic forecasts are uncertain right now, what is quite
certain is the capacity of people to lend a hand and support
institutions of all kinds. We hope you’ll use AFP as a resource in
garnering vital support for your organization in what may be a wild ride
over the next few months."
A Survival Kit for Fundraising in a Bad Economy
is a Members-Only benefit containing over 50 resources! To
