Eagle 103, 7 Susan Tadeshi, 824. Good morning, joining me in the studio right now. Al Sparris and Jim Anderson, the Association of Fundraising Professionals Northern Arizona chapter. Yeah, that's a mouthful, isn't it? The Association of Fundraising Professionals is an international association with about 30,000 members and 206 chapters worldwide. And we are one of the smaller ones. We have a little small size chapter here in Flagstaff. And we actually have Flagstaff in Prescott. And we have about 30 members and we are hosting a conference next week. And this will be at the High Country Conference Center, August 5th to 7th. What do you need to do to be a part of it? You still have an opportunity to register. You can go to afpnaz.org. You'll have the ability to register right there on the spot. But you can sign up and follow us on Twitter, join our LinkedIn group, check out the YouTube videos, all that cool kind of social media stuff that we do. We really want to encourage people to make it a point to come over to the conference because this is an incredible value. Well, and the nice thing is that they don't have necessarily good all three days. Because the first day, the August 5th, which is Wednesday, is the pre-conference as we're calling it. And it's actually a fundraising basics workshop. Okay. So if you don't have any experience in fundraising and you kind of want the 101 kind of thing, you can go to that first day. And it's great because you'll get kind of the soup to nuts from annual giving to plan giving to capital campaigns to, oh, one of the things we're having, we're having round table with corporate funders. So we'll have representatives from the Arizona Community Foundation, Blue Cross Blue Shield and the Cardinals Charities. Very cool. Very clear. Is this an all day thing what time is this start? Wednesday is 8 to 5. Fantastic. And so where are some of the speakers at? Well, we just have some nationally renowned speakers coming in. We have Tim Bertchum, who's the vice president of advancement for the Kentucky Community College's system. He's also the immediate past chair of AFP International. And he's going to be our opening speaker and do a session for us. And then we also have Linda Lysakowski, who's coming in from Las Vegas, who is a published author with many, many titles to her name. A lot of things about fundraising basics. So a lot of people kind of use her as textbooks almost. And then Bill Harrison is, he is a Renaissance man because he is a fundraiser. He was actually named outstanding fundraiser from like successful fundraising publication. It was pretty cool. Where else are you going to have an opportunity for no travel expense, for no overnight stay? There's no additional meals. Three days of training for under 400 bucks, you get to check that off of your goals list for the year. You got to send your team over. And it's not going to be all training, all education. Now that's good. It's good, but the guy like me needs fun. So you don't what we're doing Thursday night? No. Well, if you were coming to the conference and you were a participant, you'd have the opportunity to join us at the Goldbusters sponsored pub crawl. Yeah. Wow. We're going to Flagstaff. Oh yeah. We're going to start out with our friends over at the Green Room Ram. Hi. Everybody, they're going to get us going. And then we're going to hit a few other places. And what we'd like to hear from you, let us know what you think are the most iconic bars of Flagstaff. Start it to altitudes, make sure to hit the balcony at the weather for hell. That's getting a lot of votes. Get over to me as... So all of those are getting votes, but you know something else that is getting a lot of requests, Sam. Are these? A shot glasses? Oh, it's not just any shot. This is the Goldbusters brand, a twist and shot, yellow shot shot glass. Oh. As any of us. As any of us who've ever done a yellow shot, no, there are some inherent difficulties with them because what's the biggest problem you have with the yellow shots, Sam? I don't know what problem you have, but you know you throw it down. Can you actually get it all out of the bottom? Because I'll tell you occasionally I think you need a Dexterous Digital Enemble Tongue to get it all out of the shot glass. I guess I have the nimble tongue. There you go. But with the Goldbusters Twist and Shot shot glass, all you do is spend the lid, the spatula separate and you twist and shoot with ease. They come with lids. They're pocket portable. That's right. Yes, you can tell. Oh my. Sam was momentarily speechless. There you go. That's going to be the pub crawl. We are still looking for those votes. Tell us where you think we should take our guests. The conference Twitter site is AFP AZ, underscore 2009, CONF, C-O-N-F. You can also follow the Northern Errors on the chapter at AFP and AZ on Twitter, both of those would set you out. We've got LinkedIn groups, as I mentioned, we have Facebook pages. You can join us. You can stay as connected as you like. You can be a voyeur or you can be a participant. It's entirely up to you. I'm waiting for you. What does that have to do with the conference? What does that have to do with the conference? What does that have to do with the conference? There you go. So you can either register for Wednesday or you can register for the whole thing or you can register for Thursday Friday if you want. There's a whole bunch of different options. AFP, NAZ, dot org. It is the Association of Fund Racing Professionals, Northern Arizona chapter, kicking off August 5th Wednesday, which will be the Fund Racing 101, 8 to 5 in Thursday evenings, club crawl, so I know where to find the new guys. August 5th through the 7th at the High Country Conference Center. Jim, Alice, thank you. It was fun. I got struck last time at the cafe. How much money do you got spent to create these things? We'll talk about it. We'll talk about it. It has certainly encouraged more funders. Take 40, equal 1 to 3, 7. Thank you guys.
