Foundation Night at the BERN Conference
The Foundation endlessly asks for your generosity, and you continue to exceed expectations. The annual FAWCO conference is The Foundation's largest fundraising event of the year. If you have experienced The Foundation's live auction in the past, you know the excitement and energy it creates. It also helps generate the money needed to fund our annual development grants and education awards, as well as other special projects and programs.
Again this year, we need those popular live auction items, such as: vacation home stays, homes stays in popular cities, B&B or hotel stays; or a special item that will help fuel the excitement and open the pocketbooks. We encourage you and your club members to donate to this years live auction in Bern. Please contact Suzanne Wheeler with items or questions you have.
We're looking forward to seeing you at The Foundation Night, Friday March 9, 2013.

TARGET PROJECT UPDATE
Target Program - in the home stretch!
We are nearing the end of the Target Program, but I know a number of clubs are still doing fund-raisers to bolster our already impressive donations total. After all there are still a lot of families in Cambodia who lack a clean and sustainable source of water.
One of the final responsibilities I have as Target Chair is to evaluate how this first program has gone and if and how clubs have been involved. For that I need your help and hope you will take one minute to honestly answer the following 5 questions, then "cut & paste" them to me at .
Thanks so much!!
Cheers,
Anne van Oorschot
Target Program Chair

A survey has been sent to club presidents, club Fawco reps, FAUSA and friends of the foundation. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey giving us feedback on our current programs and providing ideas for how we can improve our services to you and your clubs.
