A note from GGWash’s second-best director

Hi Friend, “What’s a ‘deputy executive director’?” my daughter asked her brother a couple years ago.  He replied: “It means Mommy’s the second-best director at GGWash.”   So, in my capacity as “second-best director,” I’m asking if you’ll help support this organization that I know we both believe in…

Match madness: our work in Maryland needs you

Hi Friend,  Fundraising emails are hard to write! You’ll get so many over the next couple weeks, and I spent way more time than I should agonizing over how to word this one. Boy, did I have some great potential themes for a fundraising email, such as: We have an office with a window now, and here’s …
