Happy New Year!

New Years is such a wonderful time.  I love to make resolutions that I promise to spend the days leading up to the first of January intentionally breaking!  It is a time of fresh promises, optimism and great opportunity.  It is also a time for thoughtfulness and reflection.  For the last ten years, I have resolved to put more time and energy into the RSVPcalendar.com and the organizations it supports.  I am so proud of the enormous strides we made this year.  Our team, led by our editor, the hardworking and tenderhearted Haley Schulthies, has done a fantastic job of creating the blog and enhancing our Social Media efforts through Facebook and Twitter!  We have also hosted several breakfast events at the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek and The Joule for non-profit professionals.  We can't wait to continue our efforts in 2011!

If you are a non-profit professional who would like to learn more about our events and services or if you are a passionate supporter of one of Dallas' charitable organizations, please reach out to us at haley@rsvpcalendar.com.

My mom gave me a fantastic box of Wisdom Cards by Mother Teresa in my stocking this year and one of her quotes seemed especially appropriate for this blog so I wanted to share it with you:

"Never be afraid of giving.  There is deep joy in giving, since what we receive is much more than what we give."

Happy New Year everyone!
