Board Meeting -- Friday, March 12, 8 am, Historic Charleston Foundation, 40 East Bay Street

7th Annual Carolinas Fund Annual Conference -- March 22-23

Luncheon -- Thursday, March 25, noon, Charleston Marriott, 170 Lockwood Blvd.

Kim Bowman, Executive Director of the Governor's School for Science and Math Foundation, speaks on Relationships and Rejection. Face it, you can’t have one without the other and striking a balance between the two may be a fundraiser’s greatest challenge in this doom-and-gloom economy. If you’ve heard “no” way too often lately and yet you genuinely care about your donors and the future of your organization and career, let’s share ideas about how to develop, strengthen and renew relationships. We'll also talk about beating the odds and staying positive when doors keep closing - and sometimes slamming - in your face.

Lastly, we'll look at ways to stay in motion with our networking, asking and gift closing and how to do it with an open mind and eye to the future. Keys points & discussion topics will include:·
     * Meaningful Relationships·
     * Responsible Optimism ·
     * Disciplined Action – Eyes Wide Open

Cost for the luncheon is $22 for members and $32 for nonmembers. Cash, check and credit/debit cards (except AmEx) accepted. Register at afplowcountry@yahoo.com.
