Happy Holidays!

20 Dec Happy Holidays!

“To be a conservationist is to be an eternal optimist. Pessimism serves no purpose, not when you are trying to change the world.”

Jan Deblieu, Meant to Be Wild

I think the same is true for fundraisers – that eternal optimism is a requirement; that pessimism serves no purpose.

It is too easy to lose sight of how important our work is. The role that you play – the roles we all play – in protecting little places and big places, in every corner of this country and this Earth, is more critical now than ever.

This week I’m wishing you and yours a warm and wonderful Holiday experience filled with rich food, close family, laughter, and a little time for being outside as well.

(I’m NOT saying take the week off! Fundraisers need to be accessible during the Holidays, just like accountants in April. See Annual End-of-Year Reminders.)

Thank you for being an optimist.

Thank you for trying to change the world.

Happy Holidays!
