Fall 2006 Bridgeway Newsletter

What a Year!

By Debbie Dispense, Director of Fundraising & Special Events

In the "business" of fundraising, it is always an evolving process of trying to attract new support as well as funds.  Since the last newsletter, we have tried several new events.  It has been very successful in that we are "spreading the word" as well as raising dollars. Some days it has been more about the "word" than the money; however, that is okay as our first and foremost goal is to let the community know that we are here for young women. Thank you for believing in our purpose, in our young women and babies, and in making a difference in this world!

Many Thanks to ...

We Need Auction Items!
