5 Reasons Monthly Giving Rocks!
Nonprofits rely on their donors to provide them with the funding that they need to deliver on their missions. It is no secret that the vast majority of donations are made during giving season, the last few weeks of the calendar year when most people sit down to make their annual charitable contributions. However, there are many benefits in setting yourself up as a monthly donor to a cause that you believe in.
Here are 5 reasons that monthly giving rocks:
#Investment: By choosing a recurring gift you are demonstrating that you are truly invested in the ongoing work that the organization’s of their choosing are performing on a daily basis.
#Stability: Donors that choose to give on a recurring basis recognize that the need for funding is not seasonal, but rather an organization is most successful when it can count on consistent, predictable revenue.
#Efficiency: Because recurring donations provide greater stability, organizations ultimately spend less on fundraising to renew recurring donors. This also gives the organization greater freedom to focus on communicating their achievements and impact to the you, the donor.
#Engagement: A recurring investment in a cause you believe in helps to strengthen a lasting desire to remain truly engaged with the organization and the work that they are doing.
#Ease: By setting up an automatic recurring donation, you can rest assured that your chosen organizations are receiving critical funding on a regular basis with minimal effort on their end.
For these reasons and many more, we encourage donors to consider becoming recurring monthly investors in the causes that they truly believe in!

Well the invitations have been sent, I'm asking for y'all to come to the Christmas party and join Kelly and me for good food, fellowship and libation on the 8th of Dec at Mark Angellotti's house. This past week has only required me to eat turkey (not crow) and be fat dumb and happy. I, hope you have had the same joyful thanksgiving.
Cheers,

Adopt A Family for Christmas
Trenton Rotary’s Adopt a Family Angel Tree will be at our meeting on Monday. Please take a moment to pick a tag for one of the needy family’s members. Our families are from Trenton and are not receiving any gift from Goodfellows this year. Let’s help them have a joyous Christmas!
Tape your tag to the gift you purchase and return it on Friday, December 8th at the Christmas party at Marks home. We will be wrapping gifts at Westfield Center on Sunday, December 10th at 2:00 and you can bring gifts then also. We must have gifts turned in by that Monday.
Thanks everyone!
