**Important Information for June 5, 2018 Meeting**
Attention – Member perk! Action Required on your part if you’d like to save $$.
Our June 5 meeting features Carl Davis, Major Gifts Officer for The Rotary Foundation and author of Because Donors Want to Share: A Donor-Centric Approach to Individual Fundraising. His book will be available for $10 for WIDN members and $25 for guests.
Carl’s book will be available for $10 in cash at the meeting for WIDN members who register for the meeting prior to May 25, indicate that they would like the book with their registration AND attend the meeting on June 5. You can also purchase the book online.
We apologize in advance but we will not be able to provide books for WIDN members who register after Friday, May 25 and will only be providing one book per WIDN member who attends the meeting. If you do indicate you want a book, please bring $10 in cash. If you are not able to make the meeting, please do not sign up and request a book. WIDN is generously subsidizing the cost of the book which is sold online for $25 as a membership perk. This benefit replaces the December luncheon which was offered in prior years.
Any nonmembers can request a book for $25 but need to email Lisa (lisafrey1028@gmail.com) prior to May 25 and bring $25 CASH to the meeting.
