Thank you never gets oldI recently received a call from the chair of the board of a museum I support, thanking me for my monthly gift and giving me an update on the new executive director. It was a delightful call and it made my day. I felt appreciated and close to the museum and its people. A few days later I was invited to attend a fundraising tea for another organization I support, to raise money for a scholarship in memory of the founder’s mother. As I was not going to be able to attend, I sent my regrets and made a gift online through their website. Almost as soon as I hit “submit,” my phone rang and I got a heartfelt thank you from the development director. Wow! Talk about making me feel good about giving! It didn’t stop there. After the tea was held, I received a package with two packages of tea (pina colada and African chai!), a handwritten thank you from the founder and a response card for me to send back to wish the scholarship recipient well. It’s important to say thank you, over and over. It really never gets old. Julie Mikuska. · |
