Dear Michele,

 The FAWCO Foundation is grateful to those that dedicate their time and talents, and to those that give unselfishly. It is grateful to those that spread the word about our ambitions to better the world, and to those that help carry the weight of our fundraising goals. 

Happy Holidays to you and your families. We wish you a holiday season filled with love, friendship and gratitude. We are honored to have you as a friend of The Foundation.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Foundation Night at the Dublin 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.
 
This year, we need those popular live auction items, such as: vacation homes 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 Dublin. We hope to have these items in place by February 10th. Please contact Ann De Simoni with items or questions you have.

We're looking forward to seeing you "Over The Rainbow" at The Foundation Night, Friday March 23, 2012.   Click here for more details.

Over the Rainbow there's never a care,
So come all ye ladies, lovely and fair,

Concert for Cambodia
By Melissa Mash
The ingenuity of fundraising among our club members never ceases to amaze me. We have had a Cruise for Cambodia, Cooking for Cambodia including Cupcakes for Cambodia and in November, I was privileged to enjoy a Concert for Cambodia.

I attended the Region 5 meeting in Berlin which was held in November and they put on a very special entertainment evening. Our own very talented Robin Goldsby (AIWC Cologne) tickled the ivories and read excerpts from her books. The venue was the Steinway Haus in Berlin so the piano was very special as well. Steinway treated us to an après-concert wine and nibbles get-together which was a lovely end to a superb evening. Through the admission charges and a donation from Robin for each CD sold, the FAWCO Target Water Project benefited to the tune of $446. It is my understanding that Robin has made further contributions bringing the total to over $500! A thoroughly enjoyable evening which made you feel good on so many levels - well done Region 5!
