Dear Friends,

The health and well-being of our members, sponsors and guests remains the highest priority for the Association of Fundraising Professionals Greater Dallas. Our executive board is closely monitoring the evolving Coronavirus situation, and following guidance from Dallas County Health & Human Services (DCHHS) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). We are also in contact with Arlington Hall on the steps they are taking to ensure public safety.

We know that the opportunity to engage with our members, donors/funders, sponsors, and guests face-to-face is vital to our profession and is a longstanding tradition for our monthly lunch programs. As such, we will continue to monitor developments closely and will adapt our protocols as necessary to provide maximum well-being for everyone.

At this time:

• The March 25th Funders Forum program has been rescheduled for June 24th.
• The April 22nd Implications of the 2017 Tax Laws on Nonprofit Fundraising program is rescheduled for July 22nd.

Both rescheduled programs will be held at our usual meeting location, Arlington Hall at Turtle Creek Park.

If you have already registered for the March program, your registration will automatically carry over to June. In the event we are instructed by the city or local health officials to extend the postponement of activities through the summer, an announcement will be posted on our website and our social media channels. An email will also be sent.

Please know that we are committed to continuing to provide resources and information for our membership as we all take unprecedented and necessary steps to curtail the virus. We are so very grateful for your membership and we thank you in advance for your patience and understanding during these times. Please contact me if you have any additional questions.

Stay safe!
