 We welcome you to join us! This month: Annual Appeal Tuneup Most nonprofit
 s send an annual appeal letter to donors - at small nonprofits\, it may be
  the organization's biggest source of revenue. So it's important to get it
  right! But there is so much to think about - when should it go out? How l
 ong should lapsed donors be kept on the list? How should donors be address
 ed? Who should get it electronically\, and who by postal mail? What should
  be different between the two appeal letters? Is it still worth including 
 a return envelope? Putting a stamp on the envelope? Development pro Juliet
  Yera will share from her experience and help pool all our wisdom as we di
 scuss how to tune up our annual appeals for 2026! WHO IS OUR FACILITATOR?
