Executively Speaking

Happy New Year! At the risk of sounding cliché, time really does fly. We have some great events planned for 2010 but others are still in the development stages. Please be sure to check the website www.floridahemophilia.org for up to date program information.

FHA is in the process of updating its community database system. In order for us keep it as accurate as possible and to better serve you, we ask you to notify us as soon as possible with any change of address, email, or telephone number should you wish to continue receiving news and updates from us.

On a different note, as the recession continues many charities, especially small groups such as ours, are being affected by decreased contributions. It is very important
that we keep FHA and its mission dear to our heart during these difficult economic times.

So how can you, as a member, help us continue to offer the Florida bleeding disorder community great educational
programs and services? First we can give of ourselves by making a gift that is within our means. Support from our own members provides vital support to FHA while showing other corporate and philanthropic groups how important your organization is to you. Secondly, I urge you to tell anyone and everyone about FHA and our need for support. Taking a few minutes to tell your own story can mean so much to us. Groups such as churches and local civic organizations are always looking for someone to make a presentation and they may also provide monetary support. Please let us know how we can help you. We can provide you with letters, materials and talking points.

Lastly, we encourage you to submit any ideas or suggestions you may have for a fund-raiser, program, or planned giving. We look forward to hearing from you!

See you soon,
Debbi Adamkin
FHA Executive Director
