| President's Message
Well, it is that time of the year, when a fundraiser's time is stretched in so many ways, so I will keep this short. I would like to take the time to thank you all personally for continuing to turn to VAFRE as your development community. I wish you the best of luck with your year end pushes. Most importantly, please take a moment to look back on your year with positive thoughts and relish in the fact that your work made so many lives much much better. I will be thanking those persons in my life that give me the energy to keep pushing to make the lives of others a little bit better and that includes all of you. So... thank you my fellow VAFRE members! David David Sams _________________________
