It's that time of year again

It's that time of year again where the end of the year is nearing and so is Christmas. This is the busiest time of year for CIS. We are working on our 2007/2008 Annual Report as well as receiving donations for our annual "Santa Sacks" project. This year marks our 11th year of making sure our CIS students receive at least one gift this holiday season. This year our goal is to have gifts for 2,000 children.

Today I will be working on gathering recent success stories to share in our Annual Report and hopefully going shopping to buy items for our "Santa Sacks" project.

Back to Blogging

CIS has returned to blogging! Yes, it has been a while. Actually, it's been a whole year! We hope that with this blog we can have a discussion with our community about different ways to help the ones we serve. I hope that you will share with us what you are doing to help your cause and any ideas that you may have for us.

So today I am working on our monthly e-newsletter, which this month is dedicated to giving thanks to all of our supporters. CIS can't do it alone! With the help of our supporters, we are able to help kids stay in school and prepare for life. As I learned yesterday at the 2008 Power Tools for Nonprofits annual conference, our donors should be our primary customer. CIS hopes that all our supporters know how much we appreciate them.
